Fujian tulou came into being in the Song Dynasty, matured gradually in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has continued to this day.
Fujian Tulou is a unique large-scale rammed earth residential building in mountainous areas in the world. It is a self-contained, economical, solid and highly defensive high-rise building model, which absorbs the "Feng Shui" concept of traditional architectural planning in China, adapts to the living and defense requirements of co-living, and skillfully uses the narrow flat land in the mountains and local raw soil, wood, pebbles and other building materials.
The building materials of Fujian Tulou are very strange, which are composed of clay, glutinous rice, brown sugar, bamboo chips and water. The completed earth building is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has strong typhoon resistance and earthquake resistance.
