Wuzhai is a well-preserved folk house with Guangfu cultural characteristics in Qing Dynasty, called Wuzhai. Regarding the origin of Wuzhai, Yungu, the fifth son of Liao Lanchuang, the fourth ancestor of Liao family in Wu Gong village, once lived here, hence the name Wuzhai. In the Qing Dynasty, there were many talented people in Wuzhai. In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (166 1), Liao Guan, the fourteenth ancestor, was admitted to high school, adding luster to Wuzhai. In the sixth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1667), a large number of buildings, temples, houses and walls were built by the descendants of Wuzhai. The quadrangles in the paddock all adopt the north-south central axis, which is symmetrical left and right, and the primary and secondary buildings are distinct. This building covers an area of about 9200 square meters. Jinshi (commonly known as Guanting) with five bays along the central axis is 23.6 meters wide. The penetration depth is 56 meters. The main entrance is five bays wide, with red sandstone stone wall foundation, green brick wall with water mill, herringbone volcanic wall, lion and Bo Gu pattern on the roof as decoration, brick carving and gray carving on the eaves. On the left and right, the corridor leads to the second entrance, with the patio in the middle. The second name is She Yan Hall. There are four eaves columns in front of the main hall, covering the octagonal column foundation. Five rooms wide and three rooms deep. Thirteen of them are supported by three-column back walls with wooden screens between the rear gold columns. There is a wooden horizontal plaque hanging in the hall. After reading it; She, that is, returned to the fields to farm. The third entrance is the ancestral hall, with the ancestral hall in the middle. There is a wooden altar in the hall, and the frame is hung with wood by carving. Left and right rooms. Four or five rooms are residential houses. Jinsi has a suitable study room. In the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), three houses in Qingyun Lane around Guanting were bombed by Japanese planes and later repaired by villagers. At present, there are still cracks in the eaves on the right side of the first entrance of Guanting (Jinshi) that were bombed by Japanese planes that year.

The culture of local gentry in Wufu is also very strong. You see, this is a propaganda column against five evils; This is the bulletin board of the people's commune, and some slogans are written on the wall. Look here again. These are wardrobes, benches, beds, clothes and farm tools that reflect the life and production customs of local villagers. They represent the rich local farming culture of an era, and give infinite thinking and enlightenment to modern people, especially young people in cities. Main street is an alley in Wu Gong village-it is called alley street because it is an alley in the city at best; However, in Wu Gong, the locals call it Main Street-a small street about a mile long but less than a foot wide. The main street is paved with blue bricks, and the blue bricks in the center of the street are horizontal and vertical, just like the dragon ridge, so it is also called Dragon Street.

A section of the street still retains antique buildings, but the section leading to the river has become empty, and only the blue bricks on the ground are still there.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of Wu Gong at that time made the village rich. According to the memories of the old people, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there were 12 big families in the village, and dozens of other well-off families. Until now, the village is full of blue brick and tile houses, towering towers and deep courtyards. It is worth mentioning that among the few shops that are still on the street, there is a small shop called Changji. Its wooden door, curved counter and foot paving by the door are a bit like the charm of Xianheng Hotel written by Lu Xun. Kong Yiji chews fennel beans and drinks here. Mottled shop doors and clean counters show traces of vicissitudes of life. In Changji, there are two yellow wax stone benches supported by wooden frames, which have a history of more than 200 years. Because of its long history, there are many people sitting there and the stones are smooth and pleasant. It is said that people sitting on this stone bench can cure diseases and prevent diseases without getting sick. You might as well sit down, you will be healthy and energetic. There are Xingchun Library and Puxuan Library on the street. The window grilles of Xingchun Library, the dragon boat ridge on the roof of Puxuan Library and the bronze knocker on the wooden door are antique and popular. Now, the tourist area is planning to restore the original main street and become a commercial street to meet the shopping needs of tourists. There is a bamboo forest on the left side of Xiangxi River, also called beach oasis, with an area of 1000 mu. Its formation is mainly due to the long-term soil and water alluvial of Xiangxi River, and more than a dozen bamboo species, such as white-browed bamboo, Phyllostachys pubescens and single bamboo, have been planted. After decades, this beach and bamboo sea has become a beautiful scenery.

The Great Wall with a history of nearly 400 years is not magnificent, but its unique modeling and architectural art are amazing. A four-story castle within the fence is 24 meters wide, 1 1.7 meters deep and four stories high, about 20 meters. On the east and west sides are pot-eared volcanic walls. This is the famous five-room castle.

During the ancient war, castles were used to watch and resist those who dared to invade, defend villages and protect people. Today, it welcomes visitors with a solemn, simple, heavy and mysterious attitude. The brick wall of the multi-tone tower tells an extraordinary history. When we enter the castle, we can live in poverty without going up a flight of stairs. You see, it has no floor barrier and no stairs to climb. This is because in 1954, experts from the former Soviet Union helped to build the Zengjiang Reservoir. There was a plan to demolish the castle. In order to protect the castle from being demolished, the villagers sawed off the stairs inside and protected this precious ancient building.

According to expert research, this castle. It is a rare tower with a long history and a large scale in our province. Despite the vicissitudes of life, it still has its original charm and high scientific research value and tourism value. Visitors can appreciate the profound cultural charm while enjoying the ancient buildings. Later, when the situation was calm, the castle became a women's building (also called the Red Chamber). In the past, the newly married girls in the village lived upstairs with their sisters for a month before they got married. That is to gradually alienate the feelings with relatives, start living away from home, adapt to the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law, and tell the lonely situation after marriage. Located in Wu Gong Village, built in Qing Dynasty, where ancient ships docked and sailed. Five hundred years ago, Wu Gong was a small commercial port with convenient transportation. There are many ships along the ancient wharf, which is the only place for merchants from Guangzhou to Longmen to travel by water. There was a boom in history.

The ancient stone steps and swaying old trees on the dock still seem to tell us the scene of that year. Next to the big tree in the ancient pier, there is a bronze dragon bell called the wishing bell. According to legend, this clock is very effective. Good people will knock three times and their wishes will come true.

Walking along the ancient wharf road, the first thing you see is the Longguan Stone Monument in Wan Li. It turns out that Wu Gong Village is surrounded by mountains. The ancient geomantic master regarded the mountainous terrain here as favorable, and the Longkou was winding. Longguan, commonly known as Long Mai. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, a memorial archway was built with the title of Wan Li Dragon Pass, which made the town geomantic. The existing Wan Li Longguan stone tablet was carved when the memorial archway was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty (1756). Regular script four characters, vigorous and beautiful. Liao Jia Ancestral Temple, located in the east corner of the village, is the most striking ancient building in the village. After a hundred years of wind and rain, Liao's ancestral hall still has its ancient charm. From the outside, Liao's ancestral hall is a building with four entrances and five bays in the Qing Dynasty. After entering, I realized that the fourth entrance and the second entrance turned out to be a yard. Although they are not "entrances" in a specific sense, they have corridors, pavilions, decorative carvings, flowers and trees, which are not available in general ancestral halls. This ancestral temple is simple and elegant, antique, and has the same effect as Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden.

The villager's surname is Liao, which is a big surname in Longmen County. According to legend, Liao Jia accounted for half of the population in ancient Longmen County, so Longmen County was once called "Liao". Liao Jian, the ancestor of Longmen Liao, was born in Guanchao Village, Ningdu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. In the third year of Song Qingyuan (1 197), Liao Jian was appointed as the magistrate of Zengcheng County, Nanhai County, guangzhou fu. Nine years later, he was born in Qianjingkou Village, Yajishan, Xilindu (formerly Zengcheng County, 1496, Xilin, Pingkang and Jinniu in the northeast of Zengcheng County were placed under Longmen County). After that, in the first year of Yuan Dynasty (132 1), Liao was appointed as Tongzhi of Ruizhou Road in Jiangxi Province. I used to live in Lingjiaotang. In the first year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1368), he moved to a new address. Because his ancestors started with martial arts and morality, they designated the new address as Wu Gong Village. Liao is the founder of the village, and his son Liao was once the deputy marshal of Guangdong and Guangxi, and was called "Liao".

The Liao ancestral hall in the village was built in Houlongshan (local name) in the village. Later generations moved to the west side of the original ancestral hall on 1909. The existing Liao Ancestral Hall runs from northeast to southwest, with the appearance of four bays and five bays (the roofs and tiles on the left and right sides of the outer side are slightly lower than the main three bays), with a total width of19.6m and a total depth of 52.3m.. The first, third and fourth entrances are all hard gable roofs with upward sloping gables. The top of the dragon boat is decorated with gray sculptures of figures, flowers, plants and fish, and the vertical ridge is decorated with green porcelain lions. Entering the main entrance, four characters are engraved with "Liao Ancestral Temple". Wooden door, with hall in the middle and rooms on both sides. There is a wooden screen in the hall. The screen column is engraved with reliefs such as visiting, crossing the sea by the Eight Immortals, commanding by Mu, and flowers and plants. The ground is covered with 37 cm long red square bricks. Two into the yard, blue brick floor. Gallery on both sides of the yard, the eaves are decorated with carved wooden decorative boards; There is a wind volcano wall in the middle of the corridor; In the middle is the four-column incense pavilion at the top of Xieshan Mountain, and the tile ridge on the top of the pavilion is decorated with unicorn flowers, birds and gray carvings. There are flowers and trees in the four corners of the courtyard, which has the characteristics of Jiangnan garden. The third entrance is the main hall, with a beam-type wooden frame and a wooden screen between the rear pillars. The left and right sides of the screen can enter the fourth entrance. The fourth entrance is the ancestral hall, with two houses on the left and right. In the past hundred years, Liao's ancestral hall has been well preserved. Since 1926, it has been used as a primary school. At the end of 1990s, the school was relocated.
