The ancient town was built in the Song and Qing Dynasties (101-1048), with a history of more than 900 years. The history of the Qiu family in Yimen is the most beautiful in the ancient town of Millennium, and the preserved cultural relics are the most complete.

According to Qiu's Genealogy, "The ancestor (Sima of the Western Jin Dynasty) went south with the Emperor of Jin in the fourth year of Chen (Sima Ye) (3 16 AD), lived in Wuzhou (now Jinhua) in seclusion, and then lived in Yixizhong (405-4 18 AD) for more than ten years, with 600 households. The family does not care about cooking, but follows the rules and does their best. " In the fourth year of the Song Dynasty (A.D. 10 1 1), Emperor Song Zhenzong (Zhao Heng) conferred the title "Yimenqiu". The Qiu family of Chongren Yimen began in the Song Dynasty, and its ancestor Qiu Yongang. During the successive years of the Qing Dynasty, Yong 'ang was adopted by his son-in-law and worshipped. He lived in Yuqing Temple, Yongfu Township, next to the east octagonal well of Changshanxi. Due to the prosperity of the family in past dynasties, Qiu became the first rich man in Chongren Town.

The alleys are winding and changeable. Brick carvings, stone carvings and wood carvings abound, including lintel bars, screens, carved windows, cornices, colonnades, well platforms and well circles. Exquisite workmanship, wonderful. The door wall of each platform is very high and has its own characteristics. Some doorsteps are embossed with the word "good spirit", which is adjacent to the house and connected with the road. It is both a perfect match and an independent chapter. Before liberation, the ancient town of Chongren was called "little shanghai", which reflected the prosperity of the ancient town in the period of agricultural civilization. After reading the high wall of the deep courtyard, I can't help feeling "how deep is the courtyard"!
