Extended data:

Lingnan architecture was formed on the basis of ancient Fujian-Vietnam culture, with the Han culture in the Central Plains as the main body. The culture created by the ancestors of the She nationality in eastern Guangdong is the ancient source of Chaoshan culture and an important foundation for the formation of Chaoshan culture.

Historically, she culture has a close relationship with Chaoshan culture. After a long period of influence and integration, she culture has become an important part of Chaoshan culture. The culture created by Chaoshan people in Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province is "Chaoshan culture", which is a branch of Han nationality and has unique cultural characteristics.

Lingnan architecture contains many cultural features, among which language is the most distinctive. Therefore, Chaoshan culture is usually understood as a cultural identity created by people who speak Chaoshan dialect. Chaozhou culture is a dynamic and open system with the characteristics of folk, compatibility, delicacy and pioneering.

The formation of Lingnan architecture is a process in which the local culture and immigrant culture of the local She nationality have influenced and absorbed each other many times and gradually merged. Since its establishment, Chaoshan culture has spread overseas due to the migration of Chaoshan people, while absorbing other cultural factors and developing continuously.
