Exploring Nanfeng By The Northern Riverside The Story Of The Former Nan’An Villag

The settlement routes of the Liudui Hakka people can be divided into the northern, central, and southern lines. The southern line corresponds to present-day Xinpi and Jiadong townships, also known as the Left Heap (Zuodui) of Liudui. Nanfeng Village is one of the earlier settlements developed in Xinpi within the Left Heap. Geographically located south of the North Bank River, it was historically referred to as "Nan'an" (South Bank). Due to its homophonic resemblance to the Hakka term "Nan Yuan" (difficult to wish for), the village was renamed Nanfeng Village in 1971, symbolizing the hope for annual abundant harvests. The Hakka communities in Nanfeng Village had migrated there during different periods. In addition to the main village of Nan'an, the settlement includes Zhugaolun, Yongxingliao, and Afaliao. Although each hamlet was developed at different times, each possesses unique characteristics, and the residents all share a deep sense of gratitude and passion for this land. Guided by local elders and enthusiastic community members, the author conducted extensive field research, offering readers a glimpse into how the pioneering ancestors settled in the land, the history of the settlements' development and industrial transformations. The book also explores how local religious practices and the art of ritual offering preparation have been preserved and passed down through generations. This work captures precious stories of Nanfeng, a Hakka village with little documentation.
