blending with the charm of the mountainous town of poetry, has
made countless visitors stunned. Shenzhen Jinxiu China has a model

Dictionary. He was known as the “Tulou King” and competed with
Chinese famous places such as Beijing Temple of Heaven and
Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. In 1986, China’s Ministry of Posts and
Telecommunications issued a series of Chinese National Residence
stamps, of which Fujian’s residential stamps were The Chengqi
Building is a pattern. The stamp was awarded the best stamp of the
year in Japan. The poet Wang Xinjian has the poem “Yongding Tulou”
and praised: “Haixi Yujiao, the staff can step Qingchuan. If the
ancient village is a tiger, the high church is a dragon. The poetry and
rituals are filled with the same heart. Yu Qingyong is stretched.”
Yongding Tulou, located in Longyan City, Fujian Province on the
southeast coast of China, is a unique and magical mountain
residential building in the world. It is a wonderful work of ancient
Chinese architecture. In July 2008, it was successfully included in the
World Heritage List. It has a long history, unique style, large scale
and exquisite structure. The earth building is divided into two types:
square and round. Longyan has a total of 360 famous round buildings
and more than 4,000 famous square buildings. In 1995, its
architectural model and Beijing Tiantan participated in the American
Los Angeles International Architecture Exhibition as a representative
of the North and South circular buildings in China, which caused a
sensation and was praised as the “Pearl of Oriental Architecture”.
Hakka earth building shines with the wisdom of Hakka people. It has
various functions of shockproof, fireproof and defense, with good
ventilation and lighting, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
Its structure also reflects the solidarity and friendship tradition that
Hakka people have passed down from generation to generation.
Imagine hundreds of people living in the same big house to get along
with each other. It is of course very important to live in harmony
with each other. The Hakka people’s honesty and integrity are also
evident here. As soon as you enter the earth building, you will
immediately feel the deep sense of history and gentle atmosphere.
The layout of the entire building is not only the imprint of Suzhou

4. gardens, but also the characteristics of ancient Greek architecture. It
is a wonderful architectural complex between China and the West.
Formation and development
The formation of Fujian Tulou is related to several famous great
migrations of the Han Chinese in the history. During the Yongjia
period of the Western Jin Dynasty, in the 4th century AD, the war in
the north was frequent, the natural disasters raged, and the local
people moved southward, which opened the curtain for thousands of
years of continuous migration of the Han Chinese in the Central
Plains. The Central Plains immigrants who entered Weinan and the
local residents merged to form the Fujian-French lineage
characterized by Minnan dialect; the Central Plains Han people who
entered the Weixi mountainous area after the transfer of Jiangxi by
Zhangzhou constituted another important civil system in Fujian
–Hakka The characteristics of the Hakka people.
The southwestern mountainous area where Fujian Tulou is located is
the intersection of Fuxi and Hakka people. The terrain is steep and
sparsely populated. Once the beasts were infested, the bandits were
everywhere. The residence of the tribes is not only the deep-rooted
traditional Confucian concept of the Confucianism, but also the reality
of the need to gather strength and defend against foreign enemies.
Fujian Tulou is on the verge of a mountain and has a reasonable

5. layout. It absorbs the concept of “feng shui” in traditional Chinese
architectural planning, adapts to the requirements of life and defense
of the ethnic group, and makes clever use of the narrow flats in the
mountains and the local soil and wood. Building materials such as
pebbles are self-contained, high-quality buildings with high-quality,
economical and defensive features. These unique mountain-style
residential buildings push the long-established technology of earth-
boring construction to the extreme. Hakka is an important ethnic
group among the Han nationality. The ancestors are the Central
Plains people. There have been five large-scale southward migrations
due to war and disasters. Some of them were transferred to Fujian to
form the Hakka people.
In the long-term development process of Yongding Hakka Earth
Building, the architectural art and architectural style of each period
have accumulated unique patterns and cultural connotations. There
are more than 20,000 earth buildings in more than 2,200 square
kilometers of Yongding, including nearly 5,000 large buildings with
more than three floors and more than 360 round buildings. These
squares and earthen buildings with various façades, different shapes
and tall and majestic are made up of natural villages. They are
harmoniously and harmoniously integrated with the blue sky and the
green mountains and green waters. They are combined into a
magnificent and magnificent earth building group. It forms a strange
landscape that makes people “soul and kill”.
In the face of a long time ago, the earth building was amazed, and
people showed more interest in how the Hakka people created the
magical earth building, and how the earth building was bred to breed
a generation of earth-going people. Yes, Yongding Earth Building is an
outstanding representative of Hakka people’s residence. It not only
comprehensively displays the Hakka culture, but also closely links
with the roots of the traditional Chinese culture. Since the Western
Jin Dynasty, some of the Central Plains Han people have gradually
moved south to the mountainous areas of Fujian, Guangdong and
Guizhou in order to escape the war and the floods, and have nurtured
a vibrant ethnic group in the Han nationality – Hakka. Yongding
became a pure Hakka county.

6. At first, they used the ancient earth-building technology of the
Central Plains to use local bamboo, wood, mud, stone and other raw
materials to develop from simple wooden houses to earth buildings
with mud walls and roofs. For the sake of the agglomeration, a large-
scale multi-layered earth-building building with mature systems was
gradually built. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor
Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Yongding was widely developed as a
“smoke”. It was sold well in the north and south of the country, and a
large number of smokers made a fortune. The Yongding’s wealthy and
some people have the political status and economic foundation of
building a large-scale earth building and building a magnificent earth
building. The Yongding Hakka earth building has a peak in other
Hakka areas. Due to the convenience of materials, these tall earth
buildings are perfect in terms of technology and function, and have a
high aesthetic value in the shape, and radiate the surrounding Hakka
areas. As the most outstanding work in the Hakka Earth Building,
Yongding Earth Building has extremely profound cultural
connotations and comprehensively displays the Hakka culture.
Cultural connotation
“The earth building is the original ecological green building.” Huang
Hanmin said that the earth building is warm in winter and cool in
summer, and it is taken from the local area and recycled. In the most
primitive form, it fully reflects the “newest concept and highest level”

7. of the green building that people pursue. “Building a new generation
of green earth buildings should be highly valued.”
Among the many earth building shapes, the round earth building is
the most magical and most attractive. Because of the ancient times in
China, people think that the sky is round and the earth is square. The
ancient people represent the heavens and the earth in a circle and a
square, and worship is added. In particular, the circle has an infinite
amount of divine power, bringing people all the best, and the children
and grandchildren. The Fujian writer said in his wash: “The earth
building is a full stop, but it leads to countless question marks and
exclamation marks.” Ichiro, a professor at the Tokyo University of the
Arts, said: “The earth building is like a huge mushroom emerging
from the ground, and it is like a black flying saucer that descends
from the sky.” Harvard University architect Claude said: “Tulou is a
bold and unique masterpiece of the Hakka people. It flashes the
wisdom of this Hakka family and often excites me.”
A earth building is an art palace. Every earth building is like a “big
family, a small society.” In the earth building, dozens of hundreds of
people living under the same roof share the same family with the
same ancestors, and live together in the common hall, the hall, the
stairs, the courtyard, and the water well. This lifestyle of living
together in the same building typically reflects the Hakka family’s
traditional family ethics and family affinity. Moreover, the Hakkas in
the building live in equal rooms with the same number of floors,
equal open areas, no obvious orientation, and no more expensive
grades. Equal settlements reflect the harmonious and harmonious
family tradition and equal unity of Hakkas.
The Fujian Tulou, which is home to the ethnic group, is a colorful and
small society. Yongding Chengqi Building has 384 rooms, and has
lived more than 800 people at most. “Tulou is the most useful for
building a harmonious society.” Xu Songsheng said that living in the
earth building, there are things that everyone will help each other,
and the neighborhood is harmonious. “Children’s filial piety is not
filial, there will be word of mouth, good learning, bad criticism, and
play a role in education constraints.

8. The thick Fujian Tulou carries a heavy traditional culture. The
thought-provoking plaques, the private schools coexisting with the
building, and the paintings of the murals that educate and educate
people all invigorate the ideals of “cultivating the family” and the
pursuit of “stopping at the best”. Zhencheng Building has a deputy
name and is praised: When there is leisure in the work, when you are
young and strong, you must work hard all the time; fame is not easy,
family affairs are all things in the world, everything needs to be
concerned.
Review

There are two major systems, namely, the Temple Building, the
Wufeng Building, the Rectangular Building, the Square Building, the
Sanhe Building, the Wujiao Building, the Hexagon Building, the Bajiao
Building, the Satay Building, and the Walking House. More than 20
types of buildings, such as the Japanese-shaped building, the curved-
shaped building, the hanging foot building, the half-moon building,
the circular building, the front round rear building, the front rear
round building, and the oval building, Yongding is called a Chinese
Hakka earth building without a gate. museum. Among the many earth
buildings, the most representative ones are the Wufeng Building, the
large square building and the round building.
Wufenglou is a combination of “three halls and two horizontal
buildings”. More than 10 buildings such as Yulong Building and Fuyu
Building are prominent in Yongding. Their structural features are on
the central axis, the front, middle and rear halls are integrated with
the two wings of the axis, and the front is low and high. From the
back to the front of the roof, there are five levels of layers. The corner
of the house is shaped like a bird’s wing, so it is called Wufenglou.
The whole building structure embodies a strong concept of primary
and secondary levels, which is more imposing, elegant and noble than
the average square building.

10. Among the various types of earth buildings, the most amazing visitors
from all over the world are the circular earth buildings that the locals
call Yuanzhai. Most of these round buildings are located in towns and
villages in the Jinfeng River Basin. The round building is low in height
and low inside. There are buildings in the building, and the ring is the
same. It has the most distinctive features. Its ventilation and lighting,
anti-typhoon earthquake and defense function are better than square
buildings. It has won many wonderful praises and metaphors from
Chinese and foreign experts, scholars and scholars. : Like the castle of
ancient Rome, pointing to the sky; like a black flying saucer, falling
from the sky; like an ancient moon, hanging in the east; like an
ancient well, never dry; like an incomplete encyclopedia, profound
and profound.
Every single earth building in Yongding has its own unique and
unique aesthetic object and artistic charm. The natural village as the
unit, the round building as the main body of the square building, the
green hills embraced, surrounded by green water, the countryside is
beautiful, and lyrical, its poetic and heroic, leaving many thoughts
and endless imagination space. The Chuxi Tulou Group consists of
dozens of earth buildings. Built in 1419, the unit-style Jiqing Building
and other five round buildings and other earth buildings are built on
the mountain, blending with the green hills, green water and terraced
fields to form a magical and simple picture. Hukeng Town, which is
rated as a famous historical and cultural town in Fujian Province, has
a wide variety of earth buildings and a more spectacular group of
earth buildings. The Nanxi Tulou Group is laid out in a narrow strip
on both sides of a small river. It runs through six administrative
villages. In addition to the circular buildings such as the Ring Tower,
Yanxiang Building and Zhenfu Building, there are rectangular, square,
octagonal and oval shapes. More than 100 large-scale square earth
buildings, such as the front circle and the rear square. They are in
line with the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, fully
demonstrating the harmonious unity of the building and the
landscape, people and nature.

11. Features
A earth building is a small society. Hakkas living in different places
need to be self-sufficient for their own survival and development, and
the structure and function of the earth building fully meet the special
needs of this small-scale peasant economy. The wells, kitchens,
warehousing, bedrooms, food processing rooms, firewood rooms, pig
houses, toilets and other facilities in the building are all available.
While enjoying the basic life guarantee, the whole family enjoys the
family fun of several generations of family and family reunion.
The Hakka people live in the Tulou. The Tulou is similar to the Great
Wall. It is an exterior wall made of glutinous rice, lime, egg white and
earth. The interior is made of yellow wood and fir. Summer can be
used for summer heat, winter can be hurricane, and it can be adjusted
automatically. The temperature inside the room.
Hakka earth building defense performance is relatively good, the first
floor does not open the window, the water well grain in the building
is available, the construction process is rare in the world, the earth
building, commonly known as “raw earth building”. Because most of
them were built by Hakka people in Fujian, they are also called
“Hakka Earth Building”. It is made of raw soil as the main building
material, blended with fine sand, lime, glutinous rice, brown sugar,
bamboo chips, wooden strips, etc., after repeated twisting, smashing
and pressing. The top of the building is covered with fire and tile
cover, and it will not be damaged for a long time. The earth building
can be up to four or five stories high for three or four generations to
live in the same building.

12. Fujian Tulou has many perfect defense functions. The outer wall is
one to two meters thick. The first and second floors do not open the
window. The only solid door is closed, and the earth building becomes
an indestructible fortress. For the fire attack, there is a water leakage
and sand leakage device on the door. In case of emergency, the
residents in the building can also escape from the underground dark
passage. Today, the earth building is no longer a fortress, but those
complete and sophisticated defense facilities still make people
surprised.
From ancient times to the time of liberation, Yongding Earth Building
was a fortified castle for the self-defense of the Hakka people. The
earth building was built with earth and stone, without reinforced
concrete, but it was as strong as stone. The gate of the earth building
is made of 10 cm thick miscellaneous wood, with external iron plates,
and some doors are also equipped with fireproof sinks. The first and
second floors of the circular earth building do not open windows, and
there are double-layered outer windows. In addition to being used for
ventilation, it is also convenient to attack the invading enemy. There
is a lookout on the top floor of the earth building to understand the
enemy. Earth building in addition to prevention. There are also fire
prevention, shockproof, anti-beast and ventilation lighting. And it is a
special building in winter and cool in summer. It is the best in the
world of Guinness.
According to historical records, a magnitude 7 earthquake determined
that the wall of the Yongding ring wall was shattered by 20 cm, but it
could recombine on its own. This shows the tenacity of the earth
building.
The round earth building is a model residence for Hakka people. The
circle is generally composed of two or three circles, from the inside to
the outside, and the ring is looped. The outer ring is about 10 meters
high and three to four stories high. There are one or two hundred
rooms. The ground floor is the kitchen and dining room, the second
floor is the warehouse, and the third and fourth floors are the living
rooms. Two circles and two floors, each with 30 to 50 rooms. In the
middle is the ancestral hall. It is a public place for weddings and

13. funerals. There are wells, bathrooms, mills and other facilities in the
building.
Oriented ventilation
Most of the Yongding Hakka earth buildings are distributed in
mountain valleys such as mountainous hills or in the form of beads on
the banks of the river, so that they can be close to the water source,
and the second can be taken locally. Most of the earth buildings are
facing south, facing the south, and the building is back to the sun.
This is because most of China is located north of the Tropic of Cancer,
most of the year is back to the north, and the winter is from the cold
north of Mongolia’s Siberia. Wind, so the temperature is low; while
the south is sunny, the sun is abundant, and when the summer is hot,
Yongding blows the southerly wind from the ocean. Therefore, if the
building is facing south, it will help to ventilate on the one hand and
warm winter on the other hand. The effect of heat preservation and
moisture-proof in summer cool can also make it easy to breed
bacteria and have less disease.

14. Patio lighting
Yongding is near the Tropic of Cancer. It is open to the public and the
hills are wide. Therefore, the sunshine time is relatively short, and
the earth buildings are mostly closed and there is no balcony. The
first floor and the second floor generally do not open windows, which
is conducive to the invasion of burglar thieves. Because there is no
balcony inside and outside the earth building, it is very important to
collect light. As the earth building is facing south, the sun rises to the
west, so at noon, the sun can shine on the patio, making the building
full of light. Especially the round building, because of its large area,
the larger the sunshine area, the more light is available, the sun can
shine on every dead angle, and at the same time achieve the effect of
moisture and moisture.
Roof waterproof
Most of the roofs of the Yongding Hakka Earth Building are double-
sloping roofs with “herringbone shape”. They are located in
Yongding, a subtropical monsoon humid climate with abundant
rainfall and uneven spatial distribution. When the rainy season
comes, its “human” shaped roof plays a vital role. The outer slope of
the roof is longer than the inner slope, which helps prevent the
collapse of the rainwater from seeping into the earth wall. In
addition, its corners are made of stone, which is often high, which
can prevent the corners from being washed away when the water is
flooded. The earth building is made of earth. The most feared is the
water. The Hakka ancestors have fully utilized their intelligence and
solved this key problem.

15. Bamboo strip earthquake resistance
There are rumors that the Yongding Hakka earth building was built
with “red sugar glutinous rice”. Actually, it is unrealistic to build such
a huge earth building with brown sugar glutinous rice hundreds of
years ago. It is permanently positioned near the Asia-Europe plate
and the Pacific plate, and the crust is relatively unstable. This
requires the Yongding Hakka Earth Building to be strong and
earthquake-resistant, otherwise it will easily collapse. The Hakka
ancestors learned from the previous earthquakes. When the wall was
smashed, the bamboo strips were put into the wall as the current
steel bars. Because the bamboo strips were hard and flexible, the
overall performance was good, so when the earthquake occurred, the
bamboo inside the wall The strip will be straightened, so that the wall
is not easy to collapse. After that, the bamboo strip will be affected by
the return of the round building, and naturally return to get a good
earthquake-resistant effect.

16. Wall insulation
Yongding is in a subtropical climate with hot and complex climate. In
addition, it is a mountainous place and the hinterland on the
southeast coast is greatly affected by typhoons. In order to protect the
wind and wind, when constructing the earth building, the mold plate
can be prevented. The attack of the typhoon, the guns and mortars
can not be attacked, play the role of the enemy, can also play the
purpose of heat insulation, people living in the earth building have a
feeling that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, even if it is
summer It doesn’t feel hot, just like a natural air conditioner, let the
Hakka ancestors survive and prosper in a comfortable environment.
In addition, the Yongding Hakka Earth Building is located in the
mountain valley of the mountains and rivers, fully demonstrating the
charm of its “small bridges and flowing waters”. Imagine if the
Yongding Hakka Tulou relies on the vast plains, it will lose its
majestic temperament, and if it is based on the low Jiangnan water
town, it will be simple and unpretentious. Therefore, the geographical
environment has a major impact on the construction of earth
buildings and their characteristics. Therefore, when we talk about
earth buildings, look at earth buildings, and taste buildings, we must
learn to use geography to analyze and fully appreciate the wisdom
and wisdom of Hakka ancestors, so as to better protect the earth
buildings.

17. Representative building
