Xidi ancient villages (西遞古鎮)
- 6. Xidi Ancient Villages Xidi located in Yixian County, they were listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 2000. They are the most representative local-style residences in southern Anhui Province. Construction of Xidi Village began during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). So far, it has a history of over 900 years. It is famed as being the 'Ming and Qing Dynasty Local Residence Museum'. Xidi is in an area surrounded by mountains. Streams enter from the north and east respectively, converging at the Huiyuan Bridge in the south of the village. The streets are all paved with granite from Yi County. Narrow alleys join the streets and there are small open spaces in front of the main public buildings, such as the Hall of Respect, the Hall of Reminiscence and the Memorial Archway of the Governor. The buildings, which are widely spaced, are timber-framed with brick walls and elegantly carved decoration. Most of them are built alongside the three streams, the Front Stream, the Back Stream and the Golden Stream, which give a special character to the village. The more grandiose residential buildings, dignified with the title of 'hall', have complex ground plans, but they are all variants of the basic pattern and conform to the characteristic use of materials and decoration. The outer walls have very small windows, for reasons of security, carved out of granite and decorated with floral and geometric motifs. Many have small private gardens, usually in the front courtyard, where ingenious use is made of limited space. It has about 124 ancient residences and three ancestral halls, including an archway, Qingyun House, Eastern and Western Gardens, Ruiyu Courtyard, Taoli Garden, Da Fu Residence and Lvfu Hall. Da Fu is an official title reserved for high ranking government officials in ancient China.
