Traditional villages within it

The message carried on the Nanjing municipal government website on 22 August 2025 records that 70 villages were named in the eighth batch of traditional villages of Jiangsu, five of them in Nanjing, among them "Shangzhuang, Shanggang Community, Honglan Subdistrict, Lishui District". A notice-period report by the district media centre on 14 July 2025 says Shangzhuang "had already formed a village by the Ming dynasty".

Further clues to the history of Shangzhuang village appear in a report of 7 July 2025 by Xinhua Daily Media Network, which states that the village evolved from a settlement called Shenxing and has within it two ancestral halls, of the Fu and the Yong families, and two old houses from the middle of the twentieth century. These are matters of the content of Shangzhuang as a traditional village; for the dating of the halls, their protected status and the limits of the sources on the village's history, see the entry for Shangzhuang. This entry records only the relation that Shangzhuang is a traditional village within this community.

Points of doubt

• The boundaries, household count, population and origin of the name of Shanggang Community itself are not recorded in the sources used here.
• Shangzhuang and Shanggang Community have separate entries: Shangzhuang as a settlement, this one as the community.
• The accounts above of the name and ancestral halls of Shangzhuang village are local media reports; the protected status and publication batch of the halls appear in none of the lists held here.
