"Three Wonders of Huizhou Ancient Architecture" refers to archways, ancestral temples and folk houses in Huizhou.

I. Huizhou archway

Huizhou archway originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among the more than 1 existing archways, there are not only sign squares, merit squares, but also chastity archways. From the material point of view, there are both stone and brick-wood structures. The famous Shexian Tangyue Paifang Group, Xuguo Bajiao Paifang and yi county Xidi Hu Wenguang Paifang have become famous landmarks of Huizhou culture.

Second, Huizhou Ancestral Temple

Ancestral memorial tablets are dedicated to ancestors, and the ancestors who entered the ancestral temple must be outstanding figures who enjoyed fame, made contributions to education, or devoted themselves to practicing feudal ethics. On the land of ancient Huizhou, the most beautifully preserved ancestral hall is the "Hu's Ancestral Hall" in Jixi Longchuan, and the most magnificent one is the "Zhenjing Luo Dongshu's Ancestral Hall" in Chengkan.

Third, Huizhou folk houses

Constrained by the feudal patriarchal clan system and driven by the responsibility of honoring ancestors, Huizhou merchants who made a fortune brought a lot of wealth back to their hometowns and built exquisite houses around ancestral halls.

Although the exterior wall of the house is simple, the interior of the house is often extremely luxurious. Brick carvings, stone carvings and wood carvings are widely used. The Huizhou merchants' house with deep pockets covers a large area and has perfect internal facilities. It is also called the "Folk Forbidden City" by later generations.
