Brief introduction of "four golden spots" and "Shang Lu Gen" in Chaoshan.

The so-called "four-cent gold" means that the front and rear four main rooms face the patio, which is called the "four-hall meeting". The back hall is a place to worship ancestors, and the "big rooms" on both sides are the bedrooms where elders live. The "lower rooms" on both sides of the hall are the bedrooms of the younger generation and servants. There are north and south halls with cloisters around the patio, and some have two small rooms intercropping kitchen or woodshed, also called "lattice room".

"Shang Lu Gen" is mostly one hall, two rooms and two hands (that is, the front room, with eight feet buckle), with the hall as the mouth, the two front rooms as the two front paws, commonly known as "Da Room", the back room as the abdomen, and the big rooms on both sides of the hall as the back paws. "Shanglugen" has the difference between opening the main entrance and the side door because of its different access. Usually, the door is not opened in the middle, but on both sides, which is called "Dragon Humen". Some people open both the front door and the side door.
