Fùtián

Futian lies east of the Gan River in the countryside of Ji'an. It was the ancestral home of the Southern Song minister Wen Tianxiang, remembered for his resistance to the Mongol conquest. Nearby Bixia village, once called Tanxi, grew into a settlement of the Hu lineage after Hu Huang moved there in the Southern Song. Its halls and houses line lanes paved with river pebbles. The substantial Dunren Hall was begun in the Wanli reign of the Ming, reflecting the wealth and organisation of the village lineage.
