Source-derived summary

Daiyang village (zh: 待阳村) is an administrative subdivision of the Jinchang town of Dingxiang, a suburb of Xinzhou, Shanxi, China. To the south, it abuts the Muma River; to the north, the Thai Ha Jin Chang railway and Xinfu road. Dingxiang proper lies west of the village; the urbanization trickles to a halt heading east.

In 2016, Daiyang village had 4188 acres of farmland supporting 2972 people, of whom 1085 were farmers and more than 2,000 registered to live elsewhere, and 75 acres of developed land.

In 2009 the village produced 3.5 million kilograms of grain, worth 23.7 million yuan or, 5415 yuan net per capita.

As of 2016, Dingxiang County Government had proposed a 90 million-yuan project for a new village center, called "Yang village", in mid-socialist style. The six new buildings east of Chang Avenue are expected to contain a new community center and resolve this village's housing shortage, especially offering affordable housing to seventy elder pensioners. The construction project will also require a street reconstruction with new pavement, landscaping, and lighting, and taxes from the new residents should reduce the costs of public utilities such as water, electricity, and education for current residents as well.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Daiyang village”, the useful work is to connect “village in Shanxi, People's Republic of China” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25112049. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 1085 and 2009.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
