Recently discovered Liukeng village is located in mountain area of LeAn county, Jiangxi province, China. It is hard to imagine how such a remote village could have created such a splendid civilization. Some refer to the village as a "living fossil reflecting the changes of Chinese feudal society, " a "museum of Chinese faming and intellectual civilization, " and a "living specimen of the historical and cultural belt along the Yangtze River Valley." The village grew during the Five Dynasties period (907-960), flourished during the Song Dynasty (1206-1368), flourished again during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and declined again during the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). All families in the village are surnamed Dong, and the villagers regard Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian scholar of the Han Dynasty, as their first ancestor. The village has produced 32 jinshi, people who passed the highest imperial examinations; two zhuangyuan, or, Number One Scholar, the title given to the highest scorer on the imperial examinations; and more than 100 juren, people who passed the imperial examinations at the provincial level. Today, the village has nearly 800 families and 5, 000 inhabitants. More infomation to http://www.chinavista.com/experience/liukeng/liukeng.html
