Langjing Historical And Cultural Village Of Lufeng
Located in Tuo’an Township of
Lufeng County, Langjing Village was once deemed “the biggest village of
Lufeng” in the early period of the PRC. It is 13 km from Heijing Ancient
Town and was listed in 2008 as a historical and cultural village of
Yunnan Province.
Since the Tang Dynasty
(618-907), Langjing Village was known for salt production. It was even
regarded as one of “the Nine Salt Wells of Ancient Yunnan” with a salt
culture that can compete with Heijing Ancient Town.
The religious culture there was
enormously propelled by the salt industry. Kai’ning Temple, originally
constructed in 725, is the best-known among those of Langjing to witness
the co-existence of the Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. It’s been
listed as an important historical and culture site of Lufeng County.
Langjing also has kept a
distinctive native culture represented by the Dongjing Music (a kind of
religious music). Most folk residences are designed in the style of the
Central China; however, one also can find traditional houses of popular
style in Yunnan. The highlighted architecture complexes include the
Family Wen’s Garden, the Folk Residence of Li Jibo, the former residence
of Zhang Jingchen who is a martyr, Dalong Shrine and the Old Pavilion
of Family Jiang etc.
