TWO stone lions, standing in Xiacun Village (Community), Guangming District, are relics shrined by local residents. These lions were given as a reward by Emperor Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) to the villagers of the time who had contributed by crushing rebellions.

The ancient village, built in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) in 1255, was originally a village named Shuibei Village which was divided into Shangcun Village and Xiacun Village after the Land Reform in 1953.

Over a few generations, the village has changed drastically. Xiacun Village is now a well-equipped and livable community. (SD News)
