Brief introduction of Huizhou folk houses:

Huizhou folk houses do not refer to all Anhui folk houses. They are mainly distributed in ancient Huizhou areas (Huangshan City, Jixi County and Wuyuan County) and pan-Huizhou areas (such as Chun 'an, Zhejiang Province and Fuliang, Jiangxi Province). Some areas in southern Anhui around Huizhou, such as Xuanzhou, are also affected by this, but Jianghuai and northern Anhui are different. Today, Jianghuai and northern Anhui mostly imitate this architectural style.

In the process of the formation of ancient Huizhou architecture, influenced by the unique geographical environment and humanistic concept, it shows distinct regional characteristics, and is unique in many aspects such as modeling, function, decoration and structure.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, with the rise of Huizhou gentry and commercial groups, Huizhou-style gardens and residential buildings also went out of Huizhou and took root in major towns in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, such as Yangzhou and Jinling in Jiangsu, Hangzhou and Jinhua in Zhejiang and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi. They are all cities with relatively dense Huizhou architecture. "Huizhou architecture" is a mature ancient architecture school in the late period of ancient China. Its technological characteristics and modeling style are mainly reflected in residential buildings, temples, archways and gardens. As designers and implementers, the "Huizhou Gang" craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River played an important role in the formation of this school. The most distinctive feature of "Huizhou architecture" is the traditional folk houses, which reflect the landscape characteristics, geomantic will and regional aesthetic tendency of Huizhou.
