The origin of the name Xijia Mountain

Xijia Mountain, where the ancient dwellings are located, looks like a big crab when viewed from a bird's eye view, and the dwellings are built on the back of the crab. There is a pond in front of the gate, like a crab mouth, and two wells inside the gate, like crab eyes. Standing in front of the village and looking far into the distance, dozens of small hills at the foot of the mountain are like little crabs crawling in front of them. In the distance, the Qingfeng Mountains on the left are rolling, and the Baihuling Mountains on the right are towering, which is very spectacular. Legend has it that when Huang Yingjiang, the founder of Xijiashan Residential House, first built the manor, the Feng Shui master he invited looked at the terrain and said that the three directions of Qinglong, White Tiger and Suzaku were magnificent, but the Xuanwu behind the house was too short, so it was recommended to build earth behind the house. Building mountains to strengthen Xuanwu, or planting trees extensively, can attract good luck. After hearing this, Huang Yingjiang adopted this suggestion and planted Zhennan trees behind his house. After the nanmu becomes a forest, flocks of egrets are attracted to nest and breed. Every March in Yangchun, the egrets return, and the storks are noisy and lively. In the evening, when the sun sets in the west, egrets return to their nests and thousands of birds return to the forest, hence the name "Xijia Mountain".
