What types of residential buildings are there in Lingnan?

Lingnan architecture is mainly divided into Guangfu architecture, Chaoshan architecture and Hakka architecture.

1. Guangfu residential buildings are mainly distributed in the Greater Pearl River Delta area. The early residential buildings in Guangfu were obviously influenced by the architectural patterns of the Jiangnan area. Its representative is the wok-ear house, which is mostly built with blue bricks, stone pillars and stone slabs, and the outer walls are decorated with flower and bird patterns. Because its gables resemble the shape of a wok's ear, it is called "Wok'er House".

2. The basic layout of Chaoshan folk houses is the traditional three-heyuan and four-heyyuan. The most basic forms are called "Xiashanhu" and "Four Points of Gold". Residential houses in smaller towns have long and narrow "bamboo pole houses". Large-scale residential buildings are expanded horizontally or vertically based on the Four Points of Gold, and are called "Three Halls", "Eight Halls Facing each other", "Four Horses Trailer", and "Hundred Phoenixes Chaoyang". Their external outlines retain a very regular square or rectangular shape. .

3. The representative of Hakka architecture is the Hakka Weilong House. In history, the strengthening of the clan system in Hakka society and the unique cultural and psychological qualities are reflected in two aspects. The first is the improvement of ancestral hall facilities and the continuous compilation of genealogy. In villages where ethnic groups live together, all ethnic groups attach great importance to the construction of ancestral halls. Extended information
