Xiānjū

Xianju lies among the mountains of eastern Zhejiang, along the Yong'an River. Southwest of the county seat is Gaoqian, a village associated with the Wu lineage. Generations of the family produced officials and examination graduates, including the Ming official Wu Shilai. Its houses and halls stand on the plain beside the river, preserving the traces of a lineage whose fortunes were rooted in this mountain county.
