A sun-drying autumn spot with a history of seven hundred years

Hidden in a corner of Fujian, there is a sun-drying autumn spot that is more primitive than Wuyuan. Here, the cooking smoke is sparse, the breeze blows over the rice fields, gently knocking on the osmanthus tree that is more than six hundred years old. What flows between the valleys is not only the traces of the years, but also the stories of this land for seven hundred years. The layered houses are built according to the mountain, scattered and orderly, maintaining the original appearance. Here, the people are outstanding and the land is spiritual, nurturing many literati and inkmen. The villagers are all surnamed Cai, this is the hometown of Zhu Xi, a Neo-Confucian scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty. People praise here that 'every house has culture, and the whole street is history'. Every September, when the season of sun-drying autumn in Guifeng comes, the villagers dry the harvested crops on the windows and roofs in front of and behind the house in order to store food better.
