Introduction to Xiamen Tulou Attractions
Hakka Tulou, also known as Fujian Round Tower, is a pearl of Chinese civilization, a unique mythical mountain village residential building in the world, and an ancient Chinese A wonder of architecture, it stands alone among the world's residential architectural arts for its long history, unique style, grand scale, and exquisite structure. The following is an introduction to Xiamen Tulou attractions that I compiled. Welcome to read!
The characteristics of Tulou dwellings and their construction characteristics are closely related to the history of the Hakka people. Everywhere Hakka people go, their family members always gather together. In addition, most of the Hakka people lived in remote mountainous areas or in dense mountains. At that time, not only were there a shortage of building materials, but they were also noisy with wolves, tigers, leopards, and thieves. In addition, they were afraid of being harassed by local people, so the Hakka people built "defensive" castle-style buildings. Building residences.
This formed the unique architectural form of Hakka residences - earth buildings. Earth buildings are mainly distributed in Longyan, Zhangzhou and other areas of Fujian Province.
Fujian earth buildings originated in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. After development in the early and middle Ming Dynasties, they gradually matured in the late Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and have continued to this day.
Fujian Tulou is a unique large-scale rammed earth residential building in mountainous areas in the world, a creative masterpiece of earthen architectural art. Fujian earth buildings are built according to the mountains and have a reasonable layout. They absorb the "Feng Shui" concept of traditional Chinese architectural planning (see Dong Bin's "Modern Feng Shui Essence"), adapt to the requirements of life and defense where tribes live together, and cleverly make use of the mountains. The narrow flat land and local raw soil, wood, cobblestone and other building materials are a self-contained system that is economical, sturdy, defensive, and highly aesthetic.
In the 1980s, the earth buildings in Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, and Yongding County, Longyan City, Fujian Province were mistaken by Americans for mushroom-shaped nuclear weapons equipment. Little did they know that these unique structures had been produced since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Large-scale rammed earth residential buildings have been standing on a land of more than 600 square kilometers in southwestern Fujian for centuries before the first atomic bomb exploded. China's "Fujian Earth Buildings" were officially included in the World Heritage List at the 32nd World Heritage Conference held in Quebec City, Canada on July 6, 20xx.
Fujian Tulou is an AAAAA-level attraction. ;
