What are the characteristics of traditional Chaoshan dwellings?

Chaoshan people created seven ancient houses with Chaoshan characteristics in the form of decorative wooden structures, murals, porcelain inlays in the middle ridges, wood carving paintings and wooden heads. (1) "The earliest form of luxury house style" Xufu House in Chaozhou was built from the Northern Song Dynasty to the first year of Pingyi to the fourth year (1064-6564) (2) To appreciate the exquisite architectural technology and decorative style of ancient houses in Chaoshan, Huanggong Temple should be the first choice. It was built in the 13th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1887), with a north-south direction. It is a dual ancestral temple with a building area of only 550 square meters. Although the scale is not large and the building is not magnificent, it is famous for its exquisite wood carving decoration and has the reputation of "Chaozhou is a must". (3) "Stone Carving Treasures" When Chaoan people taste Chaoshan ancient dwellings from Xigong Temple, they often mention a sentence: "One Shi Niu kills three masters"-and this allusion comes from Congxigong Temple in Caitang, Chaoan, with a history of 1.30 years. Known as the pinnacle of stone carving in the Qing Dynasty in Chaoshan area, it enjoys the reputation of "folk treasure". Xigong Temple was built in the 9th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1870). It is the first ancestral temple built by Chen Xunian, a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman in Malaysia. It sits east and faces west, and it is huge. It lasted 14 years and cost 262,000 yuan. It was basically completed in the 9th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1883). (4) Chen Cifu's former residence in Chenghai is undoubtedly the most standardized and largest of the traditional ancient houses in Chaoshan. From the Sanjindian and Jiamiao on the central axis to the "Sijin" houses on both sides, the four flower paths on both sides are like four horses dragging this house-now it covers an area of 25,000 square meters and consists of four houses: Langzhongdi, Shanfang, Li and Sanlu study. Hall 506 is adjacent and row upon row, so it is called "Southern Grand View Garden". (5) Chaoyang Ming 'anli Ming 'anli "Residential Palace" was built at 200 1 10, covering an area of 20,000 square meters. It was built in Yangmei Village by a Wu entrepreneur who has lived in Hong Kong for more than three years-the axis is symmetrical, eight "quarters" embrace a two-way ancestral temple, and there is even a back library. It is said that this architectural pattern is also called "Nine Dragons Spitting Beads", but now it is very rare even in Chaoshan area. (6) "Chaoan Village" is located in long hu cun on the west bank of the Han River, and is known as "Chaoan Village, Thousand Ancestral Temples, and a Generation of Scholars"-the ancient village was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, formerly known as Tanghu Village and formerly known as Tanghucheng; During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Longhuzhai. It is said that its name comes from the rebuilt Longshou Temple and a central straight street like a dragon ridge in the village. (7) "Legacy of the Song Dynasty" Chaoyang Bomei Village is located in Bomei Village at the foot of Xiaobei Mountain in Xiqiao, Chaoyang. This is an ancient village with a history of more than 800 years. Formerly known as Beilong Village, it was founded by James J.S.Wong, a native of Chaozhou Prefecture who left his post during the Southern Song Dynasty. The ancient Chaoshan architecture, which was integrated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is inlaid with colored plastic, with red trusses and blue rafters, which still continues the legacy of the Song Dynasty.
