Located 11 miles from Ji'an city, Diaoyuan Village is a place where the descendants of Ouyang Xiu, a famous man of letters in the North­ern Song Dynasty, lived. The village itself is more than 1,100 years old and consists of two naturally formed villages, Weixi and Zhuangshan, separated from each other by an S-shaped mountain, Chang'an Moun­tain (Chang'an Ling). In the village of Zhuangshan there is a chain of ponds, and in the north is Duimen Mountain (Duimen Shan), both of which run east to west, as does Chang'an Mountain. The two moun­tains, with the chain of ponds in between, resemble the Li Diagram of the tra­ditional Eight Diagrams. The Temple to Wenzhong Gong (Wenzhong Gong Ci) in the village is a modestly ornate temple in memory of Ouyang Xiu.
