The old house is the "commercial land root" of traditional Chaoshan dwellings. For friends in Chaoshan, it is familiar, but for friends from other places, it is very interesting to introduce it.
Let's take a look at the floor plan and buildings of Shanglu:
Then I began to introduce my old house. The appearance is like this:
This is the gate:
There are three characters "Xiang Deju" on the gate, because there is a word "Xiang" in my father's name; The couplets on both sides begin with the words "Xiang" and "De".

Baidu Encyclopedia introduces the words "Shang Lu Gen"
Shanglugen: Also known as Lion Climbing, it is a common architectural style in Chaoshan area, which is more common in mountainous rural areas. There is a saying in folk geomantic omen that the green dragon is high and the white tiger is right. First of all, it's better that the Qinglong is higher than thousands of feet, and then the White Tiger is on the right, extending far from the right where the house is located. From high to low is called Phytolacca acinosa root, and from low to high is called uphill tiger.

The architecture of "Shanglugen" is more common in the rural areas of Chaoshan area, also known as "lion climbing". As the name implies, the beginning of "Phytolacca acinosa" is a bit like Phytolacca acinosa and a crawling lion. The architectural pattern is simpler than the "four-cent gold", with two anterior chambers less than it, and the rest are basically the same. "Shanglugen" has different access, so there is a difference between opening the main entrance and the side door. Usually, the door is not opened in the middle, but on both sides. The doors on both sides are also called "Dragon Humen", and some open the main entrance without opening the side door. The shape of "Shanglugen" is very old. Its predecessor can be found in the Ming wares of Han Dynasty unearthed in Guangzhou and the You Chuntu handed down by Zhan Ziqian in Sui Dynasty. Its shape is quite similar to that of "One Seal" in Yunnan. In the past, most of the houses in the "Shanglugen" building were occupied by one family. With the development and increase of social population, the life style of one family is gradually broken by people. There are often three or four families living in a private house. Although this kind of house is crowded and messy, it is very suitable for friendly communication between people. The patio is paved with smooth marble, and all the doors are painted with murals. The contents of these murals are different from the flowers and plants on the belly of the gatehouse, but are widely circulated folk opera stories, myths and legends, such as "Mu is in command", "Ji Xian sends his son" and "Guo Ziyi Debao". On the wall of the main hall, there is a long mural, mostly for "Ten Immortals' Birthdays". There are also red sandalwood and blue citron (collectively referred to as "red truss blue rafters"). These colorful paintings make "Shanglugen" a real painting garden, just like the promenade of the Summer Palace, with art everywhere to enjoy. Individual paintings can't show brilliance, but there are more treasures representing Chaoshan culture and art: exquisite carvings, sparkling Chaozhou embroidery, vivid paper-cuts and never-fading porcelain inlays, which make the whole "Shanglugen" magnificent and beautiful.
