Cuandixia (Шаблон:Zh) is a historic village dating from the Ming dynasty located in Zhaitang (Шаблон:Lang), Mentougou District in Beijing, China.[1][2] It is a popular tourist attraction known for its well preserved courtyard homes.[3]
Name
Cuan (爨) means "cooking-stove" in Chinese. This is an extremely unusual character and is so rare that it was not one of the characters that were deliberately simplified during the PRC's first simplification of characters in 1958. Nevertheless, many Chinese choose to write alternative versions of the name, using either 窜 (which is fourth tone rather than first tone) or 川 (which is promounced chuan rather than cuan).
The reason why this hamlet has this name is that the hostШаблон:Who would like to be away from chill.Шаблон:Citation needed It is famous because it has a history of 400 years during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Cuandixia's settlers migrated from Shanxi, a province west of Beijing. It is a stronghold on the way from Beijing to Shanxi. The family name of all of the villagers living here is Han (韩/韓), which means that they share the same ancestor.Шаблон:Citation needed
Architecture
The houses here still maintain the style of Ming and Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is an attractive historical site, where thousands of people come here from its surrounding cities. There are 500 houses left. Stone carving, brick carving, calligraphy, and painting are everywhere. Common figures used are bats, peonies, waterlilies, etc. Each of them has its typical meaning. The site is a National Village Architecture Reserve.[4]

History
Cuandixia was founded during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) by members of the Han clan who moved from Shanxi Province.[5][6] Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cuandixia prospered from trading in coal, fur, and grain.[6]
