Architecture, Ancestors, and Artistry: The Story of Xidi

#chinatravel
Xidi Ancient Village
🔸 Difference:
Other ancient villages may have grown from:

Agricultural communities (focused on subsistence)

Religious settlements (e.g. Buddhist or Taoist temple towns)

Military outposts (defensive or frontier villages)


Xidi, by contrast, reflects economic sophistication, education, and Confucian ideals, not just survival.
