Yongding Earth Building

After 48 hours, you will see the Yongding Earth Building in Miyazaki's "Big Fish Sea Bream". After watching the big fish sea otter, I will go to see the real earth building. The director of "The Big Fish Begonia" said: "We should find the most mysterious building in China as much as possible to let people go to the state like ancient China." So I found the mysterious Fujian earth building. Local scenery The portraits and photos on the walls of the ancestral hall declare the fascination of the builders of the earth building, and hundreds of years later the earth buildings are ushered in daily, feeling that it is not only a step forward. The scenic spot is even more a home. tends to be plain and quiet, and sleep peacefully in the cockerel dog shit. Walk the life on the wind and frost trail. If you want to relax and don't know where to go, don't put it here. Well, the long ancient road, the century-old dad, the magical earth building, and the Lingshan clear water, all give people a sense of transcendental. There is no reinforced concrete here, there is no squatting crowd, there is a kind of sneak peek at the half-day leisure, the residents live peacefully, the chickens and ducks walk in the air, sit on the roots of the earthen walls, blow the sun, feel like they are living People here. There is a feeling after the return trip When the city's reinforced concrete separates the neighborhood's hotlines, the earthen building, which is much longer than the package building, can also be seen as a vivid epitome of the Chinese family tradition.

The structure is well preserved by the Hakka people. It was a pleasant and joyful trip and we enjoy the scenic! We book a private bus and travel about 3 hours from An Xi village. The structure consist of 4 rounds and 1 square building. It called 4 dishes and 1 soup. This is very interesting and I recommend tourist to visit this place. Air is fresh and people are friendly here too! #hakka #fujian #china

A single building gathers thousands of families, where my heart rests is my hometown. The Tulou is a unique architectural form developed from the Hakka communal living culture. With its distinctive shape and the mysterious cultural atmosphere of Fujian, it has become an important symbol of romance. The Hakka people are Han Chinese who migrated from the Central Plains. In these buildings, we see the Chinese people's persistent attachment to the concept of 'home'. The original meaning of 'Hakka' is 'guest families'. From ancient times to the present, migration has been an eternal theme. In the flowing sands of time, the Tulou architecture has brought together thousands of scattered families, making the strangers become one community. Even as time ages, the spirit of the Tulou remains unyielding. Each stone brick, each wooden beam, carries a touching warmth, along with the deep-seated family values hidden within the walls, all of which have grown into the bloodline of the Hakka people.

"Four stories high, four rings of buildings, four hundred rooms up and down, circle within circle, ring within ring, standing through the vicissitudes of three hundred years." I took a self-driving trip to the Fujian Tulou during the Spring Festival and visited the Fujian Tulou King Chengqi Building and the surrounding tulou. Chengqi Building is located in Gaobei Village, Gaotou Township, Yongding County, Fujian Province. It first appeared in the "Chinese Folk Houses" stamps issued by China in 1986. It is said to have been founded during the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen period and was not completed until the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi period, taking half a century. To the west of Chengqi Building is the Qiaofu Building, which was built in 1962. It is a three-story single-ring round building. There is a circle of walls outside the building, with an outer gate on the wall, forming a courtyard. This place is also a filming location for the movie "Big Fish & Begonia". This building is famous for producing 11 PhDs, hence it is also known as the Doctor's Building. To the east of Chengqi Building is a square tulou, Shize Building, which was built during the Qing Dynasty's Jiaqing period and was later destroyed and rebuilt. The floor at the entrance inside the building is a model of ancient coins, and the building's design of one door, two wells, three halls, and four staircases is very distinctive.

🚗Transportation Yongding Tulou is quite far from the train station, so driving there is recommended 🚘 👉Yongding Tulou is divided into two scenic areas, the King Tulou Scenic Area and the Prince Tulou Scenic Area. If you're short on time, the King Tulou Scenic Area is highly recommended. 👉King Tulou Scenic Area Qiaofu Building Built in 1962, it is the youngest tulou and also the only one that visitors can enter and explore. Chengqi Building The most famous tulou, built during the Kangxi period, is characterized by its layers of interconnected rooms forming a complete tulou. A must-visit! Shize Building A rectangular tulou, built during the Jiaqing period. 👉Prince Tulou Scenic Area Zhencheng Building The most elegant tulou, with a decoration style that is sure to catch your eye.

Yongding Tulou Waking up in the morning, the sun is shining. As planned, we set off for Meizhou, and visited Yongding Tulou on the way. What we saw along the way: 1. Old Tulou group. 2. New use of old Tulou. 3. New buildings imitating Tulou. There are three points of interest. From an architectural perspective, Tulou is a rammed earth wall building, mostly for defensive needs. The walls are more than one meter thick, the first and second floors cannot have windows, and accordingly cannot be inhabited. The first floor is the living room, kitchen and bathroom, the second floor is for storage, and the third and fourth floors are for living. When one household builds it, it must be grouped and followed, so it is often in groups. The volume of Tulou is between Kaiping Diaolou and Western castles, but the techniques are completely different, which is indeed a great invention of mankind. In terms of enclosed area, square has a large area, and the internal division is easy, so ordinary families can enjoy it. The circumference of the circle is short, but the internal space division needs to be on a large radius to be reasonable, so it is mostly used by large families. Longyan has more than 300 round earth houses and more than 2000 square ones. The Zhencheng Tulou we visited this time, in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the wealthy businessman Lin Renshan passed away, and his son Lin Hongchao, a designer, inherited his father's business, personally designed and supervised the construction. The round double circle is 10 meters high and divided into four layers, with a diameter of about 60 meters. The outer circle is divided into eight residential courtyards, and the inner circle courtyard is used for guests. The separation of the family courtyard uses the traditional solid brick mountain wall technique. The south side of the outer circle opens the main door, and the inner circle has an outer hall (official hall) and an inner hall (ancestral hall), and the north of the outer circle opens the incense hall, forming the main axis of social interaction. There are corridors running through the inner and outer circles, Yin and Yang two wells, and they are connected to the ear rooms on the left and right, forming a line of life and production. Convenient and practical. From a sociological perspective, the ancient county yamen were all small governments, and family governance played an important role. Zhencheng Building is inhabited by four Lin brothers, who pass on farming and reading, have a strong family style, and each hall hangs plaques and couplets, which can be savored carefully. The couplets engraved on both sides of the gate: "Doing national affairs, reading sage books". The couplet in front of the official hall: "Zhen is a family voice, it's good to be filial and fraternal; some achievements, starting from diligence and thrift". There are two on the inner wall of the official hall: one is Lin Hongchao's own book "Speech and behavior, good roots of blessings"; the other is "People have always been respectful and long-lived, and the articles have always been correct and surprising". The couplet of the Guanyin shrine in the back hall: "Zhen brushes the spirit and participates in the mysterious truth; Cheng achieves the fruit of Bodhi. Observe at will." The couplet of the back hall: "Zhen works, there is no leisure time, young time, strong time, old time, always need to work hard; Chengming is not easy, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything needs to be cared about." From the perspective of cultural relics, Zhencheng Building is one of the four earth buildings in Yongding that have obtained national key cultural relic protection. It is not the oldest or the largest, but it is the best preserved; and the official hall and ancestral hall are all Western-style, with unique styles. Lin Hongchao once served as a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of China and a member of the Central Committee of the Republic of China, with a wide range of social interactions. The plaque "Li Dang Guan Xing" engraved on the door lintel was written by Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China. The couplet in the official hall "People have always been respectful and long-lived, and the articles have always been correct and surprising", is from the hand of Hui Shiqi, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

Departing from Zhangzhou ancient city, it takes more than an hour to reach Yongding Tulou King Scenic Area by car. Before coming here, my impression of the Tulou was Chun's home, as well as some official promotional images. I knew it had its unique features, but I didn't know the on-site feeling was so shocking! This is really the diligence and wisdom of the working people! It's worth a visit! 🌟Highlights: The Tulou King Scenic Area has two squares and two gardens with 4 Tulous. The oldest Wuyun Building, which is over 600 years old, is closed for maintenance. The other three can be visited on the first floor. Tulou King: Chengqi Building, with 4 circles inside and outside, each circle plays a different function, magnificent and spectacular, it is said that at most there were thousands of people living in it. Qiaofu Building is of medium size, but it is the easiest one to take pictures of, and it is one of the locations for the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon. 👍Most recommended: It's necessary to hire a local guide. The story of each building, the design function of each floor, is more flavorful when someone tells it.

Yongding Tulou, made of mud and glutinous rice board for walls, is exquisite and sturdy, a fortress in chaotic times. The Tulou is centered around a clan ancestral hall, either round or square, with circles within circles, and the beauty of science and art is displayed between the square and the round. To this day, people still live in the Tulou, the same clan, the same bloodline, the same family, generations living together, helping each other, and a small world that shelters from the wind and rain has been formed. Chengqi Building is the most famous one, known as the 'King of Tulou', and became popular because of the national animation 'Big Fish & Begonia'. Qiaofu Building is a blend of Chinese and Western styles, and has produced 11 PhDs, including a female medical doctor.

Fujian Tulou·Which Tulou in Nanjing Yongding is the most worth going to!! First of all, the conclusion: for a trip to the Tulou, the Jiqing Building of the Chuxi Tulou Group in Yongding is most recommended, and then you can go to see the Chengqi Building, the king of the Yongding Tulou. Let me introduce in detail. We went to the Nanjing Tulou and Yongding Tulou on this trip. Starting from Xiamen, we first arrived at the Nanjing Tulou Group (including the 'Four Dishes and One Soup' in Tianluokeng, Yuchang Building, and Yunshuiyao). Due to the discount in the Spring Festival month (we are a week after the Spring Festival), the adult ticket and the child ticket price are the same, 90 yuan per person, you can visit the 'Four Dishes and One Soup' in Tianluokeng, the crooked Yuchang Building, and Yunshuiyao three places. A family of three spent a total of 270 yuan for tickets. About the 'Four Dishes and One Soup' in Tianluokeng, in fact, you can just take a look at the viewing platform. Walking down the trail from the viewing platform and entering the Tulou inside is quite disappointing. Each small Tulou is crowded with dense 'stalls', selling various specialties. There is a feeling of not being able to walk, and you are not allowed to go upstairs. When you come here, you can neither see the local natural folk customs, nor can you overlook it from upstairs. We just walked around and left, because there is really nothing special worth seeing. This scenic spot is still more beautiful when viewed from the viewing platform. Then we drove to the crooked Yuchang Building, which is quite interesting. The degree of commercialization is much lighter than the 'Four Dishes and One Soup'. Because the Yunshuiyao Tulou in Nanjing and the Yongding Tulou Group are not on the way, and the previous experience is general, so we did not go to Yunshuiyao. If we choose again, we will not buy a package ticket; just look at the 'Four Dishes and One Soup' on the viewing platform, no need to go down, arrive at Yuchang Building and buy a ticket to visit, half an hour is enough. Then, we drove from Nanjing Tulou to Yongding Tulou (Chengqi Building Group, Chuxi Tulou Group). You can go to the Tulou King Chengqi Building on the way. There are several Tulous in the Chengqi Building Scenic Area, and the ticket price is 20, which is much more conscientious compared to Nanjing. We only went to Chengqi Building, which is very worth seeing; there are three layers inside and three layers outside Chengqi Building, although Chengqi Building is heavily commercialized, but it has a lot of characteristics. Because we were not allowed to go upstairs, we left after strolling for more than an hour. After driving for more than forty minutes, we arrived at the Chuxi Tulou Group in Yongding. The ticket for the Chuxi Tulou Group is 30 yuan, and there are several Tulous to visit. When we arrived at the Chuxi Tulou Group, it was almost dusk. Several Tulous stood on the hill across the small river, with a beautiful artistic conception. At this time, I really regretted wasting a lot of time on the previous Tulou. There are several Tulous in the Chuxi Tulou Group that are still used for civil use. The Tulou is small, but there is no commercialization at all. Children play in the Tulou, people dry clothes inside, it is completely residential; the most amazing thing is the Jiqing Building, this Tulou has been emptied of residences and renovated, and you can go up to the three-story Tulou. Yes, that's right, you can go upstairs in this Jiqing Building, where you can not only fully observe the structure of the Tulou, but also take very beautiful photos! The security uncle at the door of Jiqing Building is also very enthusiastic. Although at this time, the night is about to fall, but today we finally went to the Chuxi Tulou Group, which put a perfect end to the trip to the Tulou.
