Residential culture of Fujian tulou;

Fujian Tulou, also called "Hakka Tulou", is a Hakka museum in China. It has no gate, because most of it was built by Hakkas.

Hakka people build earth buildings in groups mainly because of their recognition of the traditional culture of the Central Plains, the centripetal, symmetrical and towering characteristics of earth buildings, and the characteristics of blood groups. Within the scope of Yongding, no matter which tulou, the male residents in tulou have only one surname, and they are all consanguineous relatives.

Within a family, parents have the final say, and the head of the household has the final say on the first floor or in the whole village. This is a principle that Tulou Hakkas strictly followed in the long feudal era.

The ancestral hall of Tulou is a landmark building where Hakkas live together, and it is at the core of the whole building. It is not only the place where the whole building residents worship their ancestors, but also the center of religious activities. Limited living space is one of the important objective reasons for Hakkas to build earth buildings and live in groups.
