Architectural structural characteristics of residential buildings in southern Anhui

1 is the basic unit of a three-in-one courtyard, surrounded by adjoining main rooms and hatchbacks with floors.

The patio area is not large, but it plays a great role.

The building is a bucket structure surrounded by high walls.

4. The external scale of the building is approachable, harmonious in proportion, fresh and elegant.

Horsehead wall, called volcanic wall, is a kind of firewall to prevent the fire from spreading.

There is water in four in one, that is, when it rains, a large part of the roof drainage will fall into the small courtyard, which means gathering wealth.

If you ask the reason, in addition to natural reasons, the local area is hot and humid and rainy, and another point is that Huizhou folk houses were mainly built by Huizhou merchants who returned to their hometowns. Huizhou merchants are mostly Confucian merchants who respect feudal ethics and have a cultural level, so the details are very particular, and there are many exquisite elements such as reliefs and panes. Another example is that "four waters merge into one", which means gathering wealth and is also related to its social background.
