Cultural connotation: a model of organic combination of traditional architectural culture in the Central Plains and architectural culture of southwest ethnic minorities, and a harmonious culture of ethnic integration, harmony and mutual understanding.

That is, the architectural art has absorbed the cultural and artistic styles from all over China, such as the ancient buildings in Qinglong Cave, the architectural style of traditional halls, the architectural style of Miaodong Diaojiao Building, the architectural style of Huizhou School and so on. Residential buildings are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and people live in harmony with nature. The architectural decoration art is not as gorgeous as the central plains folk houses, nor as simple as the ethnic minority buildings, but the decorative component art embodies the historical and cultural atmosphere and shows the historical and cultural characteristics of Zhenyuan. For example, some doorpillows are engraved with lotus-born three halberds to symbolize that the original residents are bureaucrats, and some elephant carvings (there are no elephants in Zhenyuan) reflect the history of Burmese riding elephants across Zhenyuan in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
