brief introduction

Zoumatang, 29 ° 43 ′ N and 121 ° 28 ′ e, is an ancient village. It is located in the southernmost of Jiangshan Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, adjacent to Fenghua City and Tongsan expressway. The village committee is located in zoumatang and governs two natural villages, zoumatang and Dayuan, covering an area of 2 square kilometers, of which the old village covers an area of 500 mu. There are more than 640 households and more than 1400 permanent residents in the village. The villagers, surnamed Chen, moved from Suzhou to settle down in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Because Chen's family has more Jinshi, more officials and more chariots and horses. In order to facilitate the driving of vehicles and horses, a dike was built on the West Bank of the river, so it was named zoumatang. The village is located in Yinnan plain, next to Dongjiang River, a tributary of Fenghua river. It is known as "the ancient county of Siming, the land of literature, the victory of rivers and mountains, the Rao of land and water".

Zoumatang scenic spot is located in Yinnan plain, near Dongjiang River, a tributary of Fenghua river.

In the village, there are many ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, simple customs and numerous cultural relics.

According to historical records, it was built in the year of Duangong in the Northern Song Dynasty (988 AD). In that year, the Chen family moved from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province to live here for more than a thousand years. At that time, Chen Jin, a Jinshi of Changzhou, was appointed as the magistrate of Mingzhou. After his death, he was buried in Maoshan. His son guarded the mausoleum for his father and settled down in zoumatang with his family. Therefore, he became the ancestor of zoumatang people today and has been handed down for 38 generations. The genealogy of the Chen family, which is stored in Tianyige, Ningbo today, clearly and detailedly records the thousand year changes of the family.

There are still eight Ming Dynasty buildings in the village, the Qing Dynasty buildings are everywhere, and the other three buildings in the period of the Republic of China are of western style

The buildings with foreign traces are also very typical. The eaves and stone windows are the most characteristic of ancient village buildings. The carving art of stone windows is amazing. There are various patterns on the windows, such as Zhang Guolao, LAN Caihe and LV Dongbin in the "Eight Immortals", while the characters include "Fu" and "Qian", which have rich and profound meanings. The most exquisite stone window in the ancient village is in an alley behind the new ancestral hall, which is named "stone window in southern Zhejiang" in ancient architectural literature. Stone windows are exquisitely carved and can be opened freely, just like wooden windows. Zoumatang's unique water system is also a major feature. The village is surrounded by four rivers, including Zilai bridge, xishen bridge and Qingfeng bridge, which are connected with various water systems. It is adjacent to Cao, shaojiacao, crab navel, houwangcao and xujiacao in the East. There are more than ten of them

Small pools with different shapes are dug in the village. The water system built by zoumatang ancestors can discharge energy and form a complete river network defense system, which can make the villagers resist the invasion of drought, flood and fire to the greatest extent.

Zoumatang village, Yinzhou, was named "charming town" among the first 18 charming towns in China, which was promoted to the world during the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
