Wuping Xingxianfang: ancient charm and new chapter.

In Wuping County in western Fujian, there is a cultural attraction with unique charm - Xingxianfang. It is like a gorgeous historical picture scroll, slowly unfolding on this vibrant land, carrying the memories of the years and blooming with the brilliance of culture. Xingxianfang, these three words have profound meaning. "Xingxian" represents advocating virtue and cultivating talents. Since ancient times, this place has been the cultural core area of ​​Wuping, witnessing countless changes and cultural legends. When you step into Xingxianfang, it is as if you have traveled through time and space and entered the ancient times. Ancient and elegant buildings are lined up one after another, with green tiles, white walls, flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, fully demonstrating the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional architecture. The stone-paved streets meander like a flexible ribbon, connecting fragments of history. Walking through it, the tranquility and leisurely atmosphere will make you intoxicated, as if time has slowed down. The architectural style here is unique, combining the simplicity of the Hakka people in western Fujian with the elegance of the Jiangnan water towns. The earthen building is solid and heavy, with towering horse-head walls, conveying a sense of calm power. The exquisitely carved doors and windows and corridor railings are like delicate paintings, displaying the graceful beauty of Jiangnan. These buildings are not only treasures of art, but also witnesses of history. They carry the hard work and wisdom of the people of Wuping and tell stories of the past. In Xingxianfang, numerous historical sites and cultural attractions are like shining pearls, emitting charming light. Liangshan Academy is undoubtedly the most dazzling one among them. This ancient institution of higher learning, which was first built in the 12th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, faces north and south and consists of a gatehouse, courtyard, main hall, left and right wing rooms, etc. The main hall has a single-eaved hip roof and a raised-beam wooden structure. It is three bays wide and three bays deep, and looks solemn and elegant. The academy preserves a large number of precious historical relics and documentary materials, including ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and inscriptions, which seem to be telling the glorious history of Wuping education and highlighting the Wuping people's persistent pursuit of cultural education. When you walk into Liangshan Academy, you can seem to hear the sound of former students reading aloud. Countless outstanding talents have come out of here and contributed to the development and prosperity of Wuping. Today, Liangshan Academy has become Wuping's cultural business card, attracting many tourists to visit. Here, people can immerse themselves in a rich cultural atmosphere and feel the unique charm of ancient education. In addition to Liangshan Academy, Dafudi is also a tourist attraction that cannot be missed. This well-preserved ancient building from the Ming and Qing dynasties has a magnificent architectural style and exquisite and gorgeous interior decoration. There are many ancient furniture, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings on display in Dafudi, which make people feel as if they have traveled back to the living scenes of ancient nobles and appreciated their cultural taste and interest in life. There is also the Wenchang Pavilion, a three-story octagonal pavilion towering into the clouds, where Emperor Wenchang is enshrined. This is a sacred place where Wuping people pray for academic progress and career success. Climb up the Wenchang Pavilion and overlook the entire Xingxianfang. The beautiful scenery is in full view. The tranquility and peace bring great comfort to the soul. Xingxianfang not only has rich historical and cultural attractions, but also has a strong folk customs. Many traditional folk activities are preserved here, such as dragon and lion dances, Hakka folk songs, and boat lantern performances. These folk activities are rich and colorful, full of strong local characteristics. During major festivals and celebrations, people dress in traditional costumes, sing and dance, and the atmosphere is very lively. These folk activities not only enrich people's lives, but also inherit Wuping's traditional culture, allowing future generations to appreciate the wisdom and creativity of their ancestors. In addition, there are many special snacks and handicrafts in Xingxianfang. There are many kinds of snacks here with unique flavors. Traditional delicacies such as粵粵粵,珠粉,芋包子, etc. are unforgettable. Handicrafts such as wood carving, bamboo weaving, and paper cutting showcase the exquisite skills and unique creativity of the Wuping people. Visitors can buy a variety of special souvenirs here to leave beautiful memories of their journey. The construction and development of Xingxianfang cannot be separated from the joint efforts of the local government and people. In recent years, the Wuping County Party Committee and County Government have attached great importance to the development of the cultural tourism industry and have increased the protection and development of Xingxianfang. Through a series of measures such as repairing ancient buildings, improving the environment, and improving supporting facilities, Xingxianfang has taken on a new look. At the same time, the government actively guides local residents to participate in the construction and management of Xingxianfang, and jointly create a beautiful, harmonious and livable cultural and tourist scenic spot.

It not only provides people with a good place to understand history and culture and experience folk customs, but also makes important contributions to Wuping's economic development and cultural prosperity.
