Secondly, this is Changmei Village mentioned by a netizen. It is located in the Yuan Peninsula southwest of Yuhu Town, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. During the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1078 ~ 1085), a Yuan family moved here from Longyou County, Quzhou County, Zhejiang Province. At first, many surnames lived here, mainly Yuan. Later, his surname gradually moved abroad, so he became Yuan. Because the village is located in the plain, surrounded by Rongjiang South River, with natural jade belt, beautiful scenery and beautiful environment, it is named Changmei. Because of the existence of Yuan Village, it is also called Yuan with Fuyuan and Futian, and it is also called Chao Dollar, which was called Yangchaoli in ancient times. It is the birthplace of Yuan in Chaoshan, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia. Most of the buildings in the village are brick and civil houses, and the settlements are distributed in blocks, and the new houses are expanded to form a composite structure. At present, the village has a population of about 4,000, and most of the villagers go out for business or work, or stay behind to engage in agriculture and fisheries. 949 mu of arable land, mainly planting rice and bananas.

In Chaoshan, there are many counties and cities called Changmei Village, each of which has its own uniqueness. The beauty of the fishing lake in Jieyang is what I want to see most, except that it is one of the ancient villages in Guangdong, and because it has been introduced in many books, such as the beautiful Yuanjiamiao in Teacher Cai's Chaoshan Rural Architecture. On the afternoon of June 65438+1October 2 1, I walked around Jinggang Village with Kuaige and Xian Xinteng. On my way back, I saw a map not far from Changmei Village, so I asked to stop by and have a look. However, at the back of Changmei's old house, we got off and started walking around. It was already dusk, so the time for visiting and shooting was very limited. I went to see the legendary Yuanjia Temple before sunset, but the door was not open, so I had to go outside and see one of the four famous calligraphers in Ming Dynasty for a while.
