Fanzai building

Fanzilou, also known as Kefanlou (Fanzilou used to be a derogatory term for Nanyang people in southern Fujian), is a combination of Chinese and western southern Fujian (in Quanzhou)

Residential architecture, which is the name of foreign architecture in southern Fujian. Fanzilou was mostly built by overseas Chinese in South Fujian and Southeast Asia during the Republic of China. It is quite different from the traditional ancient houses in southern Fujian. It combines the characteristics of traditional ancient houses in southern Fujian and Nanyang architecture, and its craftsmanship is exquisite. It is an important architectural culture in the hometown of overseas Chinese in southern Fujian.

Yongning

At present, there are still many early Fanzi buildings left in the ancient town. The unique collision between Chinese and Western cultures is exquisite and exquisite. Even though the years are scarred, these towering Fanzilou are quietly watching the wind and rain here, witnessing the prosperity and affection of generations. These buildings bear the ups and downs of our ancestors' past. Even if people leave these buildings, we can still get a glimpse of the past glory and prosperity here. In today's busy society, we need a leisurely and peaceful indifference to abandon the hustle and bustle.

Hongzhuancuo

We Minnan people call the house "CuO", red brick. It is magnificent, colorful, unobtrusive and dignified. The red brick absorbed China.

Minnan traditional culture and local marine culture are important links in Minnan cultural system. Red brick buildings can be seen everywhere in southern Fujian, which is the representative work of southern Fujian culture. Red walls and gray tiles are warm and unrestrained, but they are low-key and forbearing. The dovetail ridges and auspicious totems on the roof are lifelike, and the pursuit of a better life in southern Fujian has not stopped.

temple

In Yongning

Large and small temples can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and various gods bless thousands of believers. As a native of southern Fujian, whenever I meet a temple, I will come forward to worship devoutly, put my hands together or make a column of incense, talk to the gods and pray for their blessing. I have always believed that it is blessed to have worship, which is why we Minnan people have always had a fear of the gods.

Old street

Before the reform and opening up, the merchants in Yongning Old Street had a prosperous business and would always be Yongning.

Commercial gathering places, vegetable markets, post offices, banks, supply and marketing cooperatives, small workshops, daily necessities and so on. There are still many residents living in the old street, drying goods, washing vegetables and clothes, chatting and chatting, and living a comfortable and peaceful life here. Those visible lives and invisible inner thoughts are all in it.

Yongning ancient town has left a series of historical footprints.
