Where is the tulou of the big fish begonia?

The tulou of "Big Fish Begonia" is located in Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

The earth buildings in Big Fish Begonia are all real and distributed in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, including Yongding Earth Building in Longyan City, Nanjing Earth Building, Hua 'an Earth Building, Pinghe Earth Building, Zhaoan Earth Building, Xiao Yun Earth Building, Zhangpu Earth Building and Quanzhou Earth Building in Zhangzhou City.

Fujian Tulou originated in Song and Yuan Dynasties and matured in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. The earth building is based on stone, with raw soil as the main raw material, rammed and staggered in layers, with bamboo as the wall bone and T-shaped knot with wooden anchor. Fujian earth buildings are square or round, mainly round, scattered like pearls between green mountains and green rivers in southwest Fujian.

Fujian Tulou follows the oriental philosophy of "harmony between man and nature". It is based on local materials, and the site is located along the mountain or stream. Its architectural style is simple and rugged, with beautiful and peculiar form, appropriate scale, complete functions and strong practicability. It complements the green mountains, green waters and rural scenery, forming a suitable living environment and a harmonious and unified landscape between man and nature.

About the history of tulou

The birth of tulou has a special historical background. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, people who moved south came to mountainous areas with mountains, water and blocked traffic, and took root here. They are faced with the contradiction between Minnan people and Chaoshan people, the confrontation between local rebels and the court, the struggle between families, and the rampant thieves and beasts in the mountains. In order to make the family live here for a long time, they followed the rammed earth building form in the Central Plains, and combined with the local special geographical environment, built an earth building with both residential and defensive functions.

Tulou originated in Song and Yuan Dynasties and matured in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. The formation of tulou is related to several famous Han immigrants from Central Plains in history. During the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty, that is, in the 4th century, there were frequent wars and natural disasters in the north, and the local people moved southward on a large scale, which opened the prelude to the continuous migration of Han people from the Central Plains to Fujian for thousands of years.

Tulou has a long history, large scale, strange shape and unique style. In the 4th-/kloc-0th-4th century, the social, economic and cultural development in southeast China was closely related to the large-scale southward migration of northern nationalities, especially in Fujian. Tulou sprouted in11-12nd century, and its prototype came into being in13-14th century. After the development of15-16th century (middle and early Ming dynasty), it was 17-2008.
