Architectural characteristics of Luodai ancient town

Luodai Ancient Town is located 10 km north of Longquan Town, at the foot of Er 'e Mountain in the middle of Longquan Mountain. It was built during the Shu and Han Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, and was named after the jade belt of Liu Chan, the ruler of the last Shu and Han Dynasties, fell into the octagonal well next to the town. There are more than 20,000 Hakka residents in the town, accounting for 90% of the town. Therefore, it is known as the first Hakka town in western China. The ancient town of Luodai preserves a relatively complete Hakka culture, and most of the surrounding villagers are descendants of Guangdong immigrants. When you walk in, you can feel the rich Hakka tradition. There are many beautifully built ancient buildings in Luodai Ancient Town, such as Guangdong Guild Hall and Jiangxi Guild Hall.

Guangdong Guild Hall, located in Shangjie, an ancient town in Luodai, was founded in Qing Dynasty 1 1 year (A.D. 1746). The whole guild hall covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, consisting of a mountain gate, a front, middle and back yard, and left and right wings. Due to its well-preserved, Guangdong Guild Hall has been recognized by relevant people as one of the most complete and largest existing guilds in China. There is an antique couplet hanging in the main hall of the hall, which reads "Bayezi smokes the local flavor of western Sichuan and puts on the ancient sound of Hakka dialect", showing a long history of culture. Hakka folk activities are often held here, such as "eating Hakka dishes, wearing Hakka clothes and sleeping in flower beds".

Jiangxi Guild Hall is located in the middle street of Luodai Town, also known as Wanshou Palace. At the entrance, you can see a memorial archway of Wanshou Palace, opposite which is a big stage, with a courtyard dam in the middle, three halls in the front, middle and back, and a very unique small stage and wing. It was built by Gannan immigrants during the Qianlong period. The layout of the guild hall is small and exquisite, with a winding path and a remote artistic conception. Cloisters, screens, and the stage with carved beams and painted buildings are breathtaking.

There are also ancient buildings such as Huguang Guild Hall and North Sichuan Guild Hall in the ancient town. In addition, there are a large number of Hakka ancient houses in the old street, the length of which exceeds 1000 meters. The roofs are mostly covered with small blue tiles and thatch, and the structures are mostly single-entry quadrangles with halls in the middle. The roofs are usually decorated with "Chinese flowers" and "Aojian".
