Speaking of dragon houses, this kind is actually more common in Meizhou. Most of them are surrounded by mountains and rivers. Generally, the ancestral hall is in the middle, which is used to worship the ancestral tablets. There must be a lake or pond at the door to put out the fire. In case of sudden fire, water can be taken. The back hill is used to retreat when the foreign enemy fails to invade, so it is not easy to find the enemy hiding in the mountain. Most people live around a dragon circle, which is very comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer. I lived in such a house when I was a child, and I had a big family every day. I dug a Koizumi on the edge of my ancestral home. It is very cold in summer. When adults come back in the summer evening, they will bring back some big watermelons and put them in the ice. After dinner, everyone gathered on the flat ground in front of the ancestral temple to eat watermelons, blow a cool breeze and watch the stars (the sky in the countryside is very clear, and you can see the stars all over the sky at night). What a pleasant thing! ! ! I really miss it! ! !
