Shanggantang Village is located in Xiadipu Town, Jiangyong County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. In the 6th year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Xiemu County was established here. Since the Taihe period of the Tang Dynasty (827 AD), the Zhou clan has settled here and established a house, which has a history of more than 1,000 years.
For thousands of years, the name and location of the village have remained unchanged. It is a village where people of the Zhou clan live together! It is called a "thousand-year-old village" by historians.
The ancient buildings are well preserved and have been passed down through the ages. Many ancient buildings are still inhabited and functional today.
