🌊 A Water Town with Deep Roots

Founded during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), Nanxun blossomed into a wealthy and vibrant town during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties.

Its prosperity was largely fueled by the silk trade—Nanxun was once one of China’s most important silk-producing centers.

The economic boom led to the rise of powerful merchant families who invested heavily in art, education, and architecture.
