Architectural culture in Taiwan Province Hakka culture

Hakka architecture in Taiwan Province Province is connected with China's native hometown. Hakka architecture in Taiwan Province Province has brought the ancestral belief of family gods from China's hometown, and established special Hakka architecture types such as ancestral temples, family temples and public shrines. In terms of space performance, it is reflected in "public hall" and "Hecheng". The combination of these two spaces, "Japanese word hall, Japanese word well", forms the symbolic meaning of "rich family". Almost all materials are adapted to local conditions (spiritually speaking, it can also be said that they continue the tradition of hometown), and the utilization rate of earth, fire bricks, wood and bamboo is mainly based on the local resources of buildings. In color aesthetics, it created a completely different aesthetic value from the original hometown of "white walls and black tiles" and gradually absorbed the new flavor of "red bricks and red tiles" in southern Fujian. In the design of spatial pattern, on the one hand, we adhere to the rules of public space in public halls and families, on the other hand, we also form local Hakka architectural styles that are different from north to south and different from east to west according to local conditions. Famous Hakka traditional buildings, such as Wujiang in Beipu Tianshui Hall in Hsinchu County, Jiadong Cabin in Pingtung County, Liu Dui Kitchen, Meidan Smoke House, etc., can all see the specific trajectory of Hakka architecture in Taiwan Province Province.

In the objective appreciation of space culture, we can also understand the value of each Hakka building in different regions and different families. For example, because of the Cinnamomum camphora industry in North Taiwan Province Province during the Japanese occupation in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the architecture changed from the scale of agricultural families to a diversified industrial living space that interacted more closely with other ethnic groups. The application of red brick combined with the creation culture of clan space in the original hometown has shaped the excellent architectural beauty of Hakka Zhuang nationality. The most distinctive spatial form in South Taiwan Province Province can be said to create a "corridor" (or "corridor boy") between an upright body and a horizontal house. To a great extent, the corridor reflects the unprecedented living space demand of tropical climate in China's hometown. Quite open space (three doors that are often left open, two indoor doors and two empty windows) is often considered as the most important living core in the family, such as living room, kitchen or dining room. It has a local flavor and is worth visiting.
