Excuse me, what are the characteristics of Jiangnan architectural style?
The typical feature of Jiangnan architecture is blue bricks and white walls, giving people a simple and fresh feeling. The Suzhou Museum, Mr. Pei's final work, is a typical example of applying this style to modern architecture. Being in it, it is calm and distant, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the city.
Huiju is also a very typical Jiangnan architecture.
Hui-style houses are mostly in the form of multiple courtyards (smaller ones are mostly in the three-heyuan style). They generally face north and south, leaning against mountains and facing water, and pay attention to Feng Shui values. The layout is arranged symmetrically along the central axis, with three rooms in width, with a hall in the middle and rooms on both sides. The front of the hall is called a patio, which provides lighting and ventilation, and the courtyards are integrated to create a deep and self-sufficient family living space.
The appearance of the residential houses has a strong sense of integrity and beauty, with high closed walls, angled horse heads, well-proportioned wall lines, black tiles and white walls, and elegant and generous colors.
In terms of decoration, the beauty of the "three carvings" of Huizhou residences is breathtaking. The blue brick door covers, stone carved windows, and wooden carved pillars are integrated with the building, making the building exquisite and poetic, which can be called A major feature of Hui-style residences
Huizhou’s ancestral halls and archways play an important role in Hui-style architecture: ancestral halls are divided into main ancestral halls and branch ancestral halls. The hall, sleeping hall, etc. are composed of multiple buildings, with majestic beams, exquisite "three carvings" and grandeur. Archways are mainly made of stone, with four-column and five-story archways, four-column soaring arches, eight-column arches, and oral archways. They are elegant in shape and scattered in various towns. They are an important part of the cultural landscape of ancient Huizhou.
