Eight elements light up the architectural features of Lingnan.

Lingnan architecture has left a deep impression in the architectural history of China, and it is a wonderful flower in the architectural history of China today. If you have the opportunity to visit the Lingnan generation, you will be full of praise for Lingnan architecture and fall in love with this form of architectural style. Next, let's take a look at the characteristics of Lingnan cultural architecture.

(1) Change is better than imitation, and now it is better than the past. Professor Xia Changshi of South China University of Technology (South China University of Technology), the pioneer of modern Lingnan architecture, designed the Guangzhou Cultural Park Water Museum, Sun Yat-sen Medical College, South China University of Technology and other buildings with modern architectural style, which set an example in the whole country. His work "Medical Teaching Complex Building of Sun Yat-sen Medical College" also won the Excellent Architectural Creation Award of China Architectural Society.

(2) Pursuing artistic conception, striving for spiritual likeness. In every artistic creation, Cantonese people deliberately pursue Lingnan characteristics, and so does architectural creation. They pursue artistic conception and put their thoughts in the first place, which embodies the emotional appeal and charm of Lingnan in China. For example, the poems of Baiyun Mountain Villa and the "hometown water" of White Swan Hotel can arouse the homesickness of overseas travelers.

(3) Integration because of the environment. Lingnan architecture attaches importance to site selection, integrates with the environment and inherits the essence of traditional architecture. Hotel buildings such as baiyun hotel, Shuangxi Villa and White Swan are among the best.

(4) Group layout, combined space. Lingnan architecture, combined with climate characteristics, makes the building have modern landscape characteristics, and only arranges garden flowers and trees in the lobby, atrium, lounge, restaurant, walkway and bedroom, giving the environment natural interest. The most representative work is Oriental Hotel Garden, which combines the spirit of China gardens with the style of modern architecture.

(5) Fresh and lively, with various ways. Lingnan architecture is good at making use of the characteristics of reinforced concrete frame, creating transparent space and virtual body, forming a fresh and lively architectural image, and drawing lessons from the prototype of ancient pavilions to make new buildings colorful.

(6) interior design, rich and colorful. Lingnan architecture uses traditional techniques in interior design, such as gray carving, pottery sculpture, brick carving, wood carving, cave doors and windows, empty flower Bo Gu, landing, painted glass, mosaic murals, some bonsai, characteristic furniture, inscribed couplets, etc., which makes the interior landscape dazzling and beautiful.

(7) The context of the garden is innovative. Lingnan architecture absorbs and draws lessons from China's ancient garden space techniques to the maximum extent, and transplants them into architecture and urban design, thus producing distinctive features. For example, Baiyun Mountain, Yuexiu Mountain, Liuhua Lake Park, Lanpu, Martyrs Cemetery, Land Rover Lake and Dongshan Lake Park.

(8) The road of spirit likeness leads to the same goal. Lingnan architectural school advocates that new buildings should be similar to traditional forms and styles, not identical. Spiritual similarity reflects a sense of context, concern for traditional spirit and collective unconsciousness, respect for environmental integrity and human space, and a strong desire to keep pace with the world trend.

The conclusion is that painting art has been the mainstream culture of Lingnan since ancient times, and the germination of painting art was in Lingnan and Neolithic Age. Today, Lingnan architecture is the most classic model in architectural history, which is world-famous and handed down from generation to generation.
