The dragon enclosure in Xiang Qiao Village can be roughly divided into three construction periods. Early ancestral houses, Lanxintang, Pinyigong Temple and other ancestral houses during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty were all large-scale collective houses inhabited by Hakkas. Although these dragon houses are large in scale, the ancestral halls are narrow, the houses are low and very crowded. The transitional period is represented by Shangshu Xinwu in the middle of Qing Dynasty. Later, it was represented by overseas Chinese houses such as "Nanhua Road" in the late Qing Dynasty. Because it is difficult to make a living across the fields, many people in overseas Chinese villages have crossed the ocean to make a living in Southeast Asia, Europe and America. Overseas Chinese who have a successful career abroad follow the tradition of returning home to buy fields and land to build big houses, which are often called "so-and-so" houses, and locals call them "overseas Chinese houses".

The ancient houses in Xiang Qiao Village have their own characteristics. There are 98 paddock houses such as Hengtang, "Nine Halls and Eighteen Wells" and Henglan, including 30 in Siqian Village, 28 in Gaotian Village and 40 in Tang Dou Village, of which more than 80 were built before the 1940s. The structure of Longwei is composed of three parts: one is a rectangular quadrangle composed of nave and a horizontal house, in which the hall is located on the central axis, the upper hall is a high ancestral hall, the house and the temple are integrated, and the horizontal house faces the hall symmetrically; Secondly, the semi-circular part at the back consists of a courtyard and a fence, and both ends of the fence are connected with the back end of the horizontal house; In front of the door are a paddy field and a pond. Heping Square usually basks in the valley and is a place for entertainment and banquets during the New Year celebrations. The semi-circular pond also has the geomantic significance of raising fish, washing and preventing fire. Rudexintang, Nanhua Luyou, Chengdetang and Hehe are all typical dragon enclosure houses. "Dexintang" was built in 1905 by Pan Lizhai, an Indonesian overseas Chinese, and was fully completed in 19 17. It is a building with two halls and four horizontal double dragons, with a corridor structure. It uses the slope to build a flower head to surround the dragon. The annex buildings on both sides are used as utility rooms, and mountain spring water is extracted as tap water. There is a rectangular flat in front, a rectangular green space under the flat, a half-moon pond in front of the door and an orchard behind the house, where Lingnan fine fruits are planted. The house is characterized by two-story enclosure, the inner enclosure is connected with the outer enclosure, the distance between the outer enclosure and the inner enclosure is narrow, and the ground is compacted with concrete. The whole house covers an area of 7,500 square meters with 66 rooms and 8 halls (roads). The most admirable thing is the tortuous sewer design in the house. The pipes are interconnected to collect the water in the patio and then discharge it from the drainage channel of the patio. In front of the main entrance of Dexintang, there are several uncovered cement stones, and a porcelain angel is placed on each stone. Porcelain angel is neither too big nor too small, but it can rotate under it, but it can't lift out of the ground. According to Pan Lunqi, secretary of the hometown of overseas Chinese, this porcelain angel plays a role in filtering garbage. When the water touches the porcelain angel and rotates, the water flows through and the garbage is blocked, which can effectively prevent the sewer from being blocked and facilitate the owner to clean up. Although many water pipes at home have been replaced with new ones, you can still see the iron water pipes left during construction. South China Land Tour was founded by Pan Xiangchu, a famous overseas Chinese, in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904). With a history of 100 years, it is one of the largest Hakka dwellings in Meixian District. Its architectural style is unique, pavilions and pavilions. The house has a magnificent appearance and extraordinary momentum, covering an area of more than 10 thousand square meters. The room is divided into upper, middle and lower halls, two horizontal halls, and four left and right halls (left for China, Xing, Yi and Shi, right for Dragon, Developed and Auspicious). Each hall is independent and can be connected, so it is commonly called "the house in the house". There is also a row of pillow rooms and two kitchens (one left and one right) behind the hall, and there is an orchard behind the house. The whole house 1 18 rooms are called "ten halls and nine wells". Because the founder Pan Xiangchu has eight sons and four daughters, eight sons live in eight halls, eight halls and eight wells, which are added to the halls of the upper nave and the central patio, it is called "ten halls and nine wells". There are more than 100 descendants of the founder Pan Xiangchu, who are distributed all over the world, and there are many doctors, scholars and entrepreneurs, among whom Dr. Pan Yugang, a world-famous quantum chemist, is his successor.

"Yicheng Gongjia School" (commonly known as the old school) was built with donations from Mr. Pan Lizhai and Mr. Pan Xiangchu in the 28th year of Guangxu (1920). It is the predecessor of Anren School in Nankou Town, Meixian District. The house is made of wooden shed bricks and rammed with concrete walls. At first, there was a small orchard and a fence in front of the house, and then there was a garden. It is designed according to the form of school study, and skillfully built by using hillside fields. There are 8 classrooms and 2 houses in the school. At the beginning of building a house, it was a school, and the content of professors was mainly classical Chinese. Hire a scholar or a senior scholar as a teacher and recruit children from Panshi. After the Republic of China, it became a full-time primary school, and children with neighborhood names can also study here. After the completion of Anren School, it became the "Anren First Campus". There are two towering old Yuanyang ginkgo trees in front of the house, and a leafy magnolia tree in the back garden. These three trees were planted in the early school with a history of 100 years, and have been listed as national second-class protected trees.

Many Dragon House buildings in Xiang Qiao Village have enriched and developed Hakka architectural art while maintaining the traditional cultural characteristics of China and Hakka architectural art. Xiang Qiao Village is like a museum of Hakka ancient houses.

There are many talented people in the hometown of overseas Chinese, such as Pan Lizhai, Pan Xiangchu, Pan Junmian and Pan Zhiwo in modern times, Dr. Pan Yugang, a world-famous expert in quantum chemistry in modern times, and Professor Pan Ruyao, an economist, etc. Pan Fennan, Pan Songbao, Gu Guo Tan and other three generals, as well as a number of military and political dignitaries, experts and professors, wealthy businessmen and tycoons such as Pan Duoyuan and Pan Junmian, all came from the century-old famous school "Yicheng Public School".
