The cultural connotation of Meizhou Dragon House! ? Urgent! ! ! ! !

First, it embodies the traditional virtues of Hakka people, such as unity and mutual assistance, respect for the elderly and love for the virtuous, courtesy and civilization, and understanding. Small rockeries, fish ponds and bonsai are generally arranged in the patios of the paddock. All kinds of flowers and trees surround the "flower heads" in the semi-garden behind the main house and the semi-moon pool in front of the main door. The forest on the mountain behind the enclosure is called "Dragon Clothes", and logging is prohibited. The whole building is hidden among evergreen trees, with birds and flowers all year round and beautiful environment in Jing Ya. The columns, beams, fang and doors in the paddock are all carved with vivid landscapes, flowers and birds, birds and animals, and painted with bright and dazzling paint, which looks resplendent, antique and spectacular. Generally speaking, there is a close family living in a dragon enclosure, living in harmony, respecting the old and loving the young. On holidays, men, women and children gather in the main house to worship their ancestors, dance dragons and lions, beat gongs and drums, and it is a happy and peaceful scene.

Second, the style of Hakka Dragon House is the inheritance of the original residential style. Archaeological data show that Banpo clan and Longshan clan in the middle and late primitive society of the Yellow River basin lived in an area composed of dozens of square and round rammed earth houses. This shows that the Hakka people's concept of living subconsciously contains the recovery and reference of some of their ancestors' living experiences.

Thirdly, the architectural features of the Dragon House are also the projection of ancient Yin and Yang thoughts. Reflected in the harmony between architectural objects and natural terrain, it conforms to the philosophical principle of "harmony between man and nature". If the terrain is not ideal, the seating direction can be adjusted by adding a half-moon flower terrace or pond or building half door to achieve the balance of yin and yang and adapt to the environment. This thought of yin and yang was later mixed with a lot of witchcraft culture that pays attention to "feng shui staying in the field", such as the old saying: "Feng Shui is indispensable for the world, and it depends on yin and yang."

Fourth, it embodies the traditional clan concept. The Hakka residential buildings in Weilongwu are large in scale. On the one hand, they show the habit of Hakkas living in groups. Because, whether in a long journey or in a new place, the Hakkas all have insurmountable difficulties, and they all have to live together by their own surnames; On the other hand, the residents in the house are assigned rooms according to their generations and grades, and the ancestral tablet is placed in the center of the building for future generations to worship, which reflects the traditional Hakka family ethics to some extent. When building a new house, Hakkas usually hold the custom of "moving to a new house", which is called "showing evil spirits". It will be safe and auspicious to ask Mr. Feng Shui to drive away the "three evils". On the day of moving, there was a grand banquet and a sacrifice to the gods.
