Xinye Profile
新叶村位于杭州、金华、衢州三市（历史上的金华、衢州、严州三府）交汇处，建德市西南部，与兰溪毗邻，属浙西山区与浙中盆地过渡地段。
Xinye village located in the joint area which connects Hangzhou, Jinhua and Quzhou cities(previously Yanzhou, Jinhua and Quzhou in history), southwest to Jiande and next to Lanxi, as a transition region between mountainous Western Zhejiang and basiny Middle Zhejiang.
南宋嘉定元年（1208），始祖叶坤，从寿昌湖岑畈入赘玉华夏氏，子孙繁衍，遂成村落，名白下里叶，共和国建国后改定名新叶村（寓万象更新之意）。历经宋、元、明、清、民国至今已有800年历史，宗历三十代，856灶，3700余人口为建德叶姓一庞大支脉。
In AD 1208, First year of Jiading reign in South Song dynasty, our ancestor Mr Ye Kun from Hucen Fan, Shouchang, was married to Ms Xia in Yvhua.Their children, grandchildren, and descendants live in this place and built the village called Bai Xia Li Ye, which refers to mountain foot of Bai Yanshan and the Tribe Li of Mr Ye’s, and renamed as Xinye Village after PRC foundation. The Mr Ye family has been a big heritage in Jiande after the 800 years history from Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasty and Republic of China and People’s Republic of China, with 30 generations, 856 hearth and 3700 persons.
聚族而居的血缘传统形式和“耕可富家”、“读可荣身”的耕读思想承传。使得许多悠久的文化能够传承下来，一部二十二卷的玉华叶氏宗谱，详实准确地记录着村落800年的风雨荣辱。目前保存完好的明清古建筑包括16处厅、堂、祠、阁、塔、寺。整个古建筑群体布局之奇，工艺之巧，装饰之美，被称为“江南乡村民居中的奇葩”，“明清古建筑的露天博物馆”。各厅祠堂悬挂的众多匾额，更向人们展示了从第三代东谷公开始（已有700多年历史）兴办书院，鼓励子弟读书取仕所取得的成果和历代学子的荣耀。2000年2月18日浙江省人民政府批准新叶村为“省级历史文化保护区”。
With the ancestral tradition of clan related living style and heritage of thought “Cultivation can be wealthy” and “Reading can win glories”, the time-honored cultures has passed down and the 22 volumed genealogy of Yuhua Mr Ye’s has a detailed and accurate record of the hornored village’s ups and downs in the past 800years. There are well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty’s ancient buildings, including 16 Hall, Temple Court, memorial temple,pavillion, tower, temple. The marvellous whole layout of ancient buildings, artful crafts, decorative beauty, is known as the "A miracle artwork in southern village," "An open-air museum of old buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties." Further more, the ancestral hall is hung with many plaques, which shows us the glorious history of 700 years from the third generation of Donggu, who set up academies to encourage children to take reading and win anciant scholars. On February 18, 2000, Zhejiang People's Government authorised the village as one of “The provincial historical and cultural protection zones."
