Classification of Huizhou Settlement

The architectural space and external space of Huizhou traditional settlement is a complete spatial experience as a whole. The internal space refers to the part enclosed by ancestral halls, academies, mansions, gardens, etc.; the external space is mainly in the form of streets, alleys, squares, waterholes, ponds, etc. The location and construction of Huizhou traditional settlements often follow the topography. The site selection and construction of traditional Huizhou settlements are often accomplished with the terrain, thus the public **** space in them is rich in form and varied in scale, including both part of the architectural space and external space, reflecting the state of life of the Huizhou people's existence.
