The ancient village was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. In the Ming Dynasty, it was built to defend against the Japanese invaders"Three streets and six lanes"of the settlement pattern. And because of the special geographical location, there is the Hanjiang River waterway, so before the Ming Dynasty was the material distribution center of Chaozhou, and later due to the rise of Shantou Port, Longhu Ancient Village began to decline.
Nowadays, walking on the straight street of the main road of the ancient village, you can still see that there are countless ancestral halls and Jiadi in the houses on both sides, but although this road is still the same stone road more than a thousand years ago, it is difficult to see the glory of the year. Two-thirds of the houses in the ancient village are still inhabited, and although a small number of houses have been dilapidated, more than 100 ancient buildings are still preserved!
It is said that this includes more than 40 clan ancestral halls, nearly 20 famous mansions, and some mansions are even five or ten deep. "Three streets and six lanes"The ancient ancestral halls all show the folk crafts of Chaozhou, with exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, painted and inlaid porcelain!
