This is the ancient town with the most cobblestones I have ever seen - the hometown of Sun Quan

👉🏻At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous scholar Yan Ziling visited Longmen and was amazed at the beautiful scenery here, and couldn't help but sigh: 'The mountains here are clear and the water is beautiful, better than Lv Liang Longmen.' In admiration, he gave this beautiful place a loud name - Longmen. Longmen Ancient Town 🏞️Tracing back the thousand-year history of the ancient town, the descendants of Sun Quan, the emperor of the Three Kingdoms Wu, with diligence and wisdom, inherited the spirit of their ancestors' pioneering and hard work, and turned Longmen into the 'Peach Blossom Garden' of the Sun family. With the protection of Longmen's mountains and rivers, the Sun family eventually developed into a large family in the south of the Yangtze River with more than 2,000 households and more than 7,000 people, now owning a well-preserved group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is a famous ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River🏘️ 🏡Longmen Ancient Town is located at the foot of Longmen Mountain on the Fuchun River, about 16 kilometers away from Fuyang. It is one of the 'Ten Sceneries of Fuchun'. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains on all sides. More than 90% of the villagers in the ancient town are descendants of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, who have settled here for more than a thousand years. The people are simple and honest, and the whole town still retains a rare group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River. 🌿Longmen Ancient Town is a typical example of the ancient clan settlement pattern in our country. Over the past thousand years, with the flourishing of the Sun family, it has gradually formed a 'hall and house combination courtyard centered on the hall'. The family tree records that from Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms period to the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the Sun family has proliferated to 65 generations. Over the centuries, through the construction of each generation of each room, from a large family settlement, it has formed today's ancient town. ——————♥Must-visit attractions in Longmen Ancient Town♥————— ✅Old Street Rural Feelings This nearly three-mile-long, three-meter-wide market has always been prosperous, with most of the shops being front shops and back workshops, front shops and back residences.
