Bagua: A set of symbols in ancient China. With "one" for Yang and "-"for Yin, three such symbols form eight forms, which are called Eight Diagrams. Each six-pointed star represents something. Dry represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, ridge represents water, far represents fire, earthquake represents thunder, roots represent mountains, rafters represent wind, and pairs represent ze. Eight diagrams are matched with each other to get sixty-four hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural phenomena and personnel phenomena. Gossip represents China's early philosophical thoughts. Its influence is not only divination and geomantic omen, but also Chinese medicine, martial arts and music.
Now let's see what the layout of tulou has to do with gossip.
There are two wonders to see the tulou, one is tulou architecture and the other is Hakka culture. This tulou has ears and looks like a black hat of a feudal official. Why? Hakka earth buildings pay attention to geomantic omen. The front of the building is wide, with Qinglong Mountain on the left, White Tiger Mountain on the right, Suzaku in front and Xuanwu behind. Like the plush chair, the structure of the building and the small building in the building are designed according to the ancient gossip.
The most representative is the Sincere Building in Hongkeng Village, and the whole building is in a gossip layout. The outer ring building has five buildings with 40 buildings on each floor, four groups of stairs, and the outer ring on the fourth floor 160. The first floor is the kitchen, the second floor is the granary, and the third and fourth floors are houses. There are fireproof partitions between the hexagrams, and each hexagram is separated by a blue brick arch. Each six-pointed star also has two bathrooms for men and women, and the patio in the six-pointed star is a place for raising poultry and livestock. As soon as the gossip door is closed, it forms its own courtyard, and as soon as the gossip door is opened, it becomes a whole. It is said that this architectural style is characterized by the unity and mutual assistance of large groups and the freedom and comfort of small units. The building in the middle of the building is a two-story building with brick and wood structure and western-style structure. 12 room, 24 rooms on each floor. There are two stairs on the east and west sides, and the room on the first floor is the reception room of each family after separation. Now, in addition to being a reception room, the whole inner ring building also has entertainment functions. The railing of the corridor on the second floor is made of cast iron, with beautiful patterns of plum, chrysanthemum, bamboo and lily, which means that Hakka people "get along well in spring, summer, autumn and winter for a hundred years". The central hall next to the whole building is an important activity place of the whole building, which can be used as a family meeting room, a banquet living room and a stage. On the second floor, the center of the theater is designed to be higher than both sides 15 cm.

The whole sincere building has three accessible doors, namely the front door and the left and right side doors. All of them are made of granite blocks, arranged according to the three talents of "heaven, earth and man" in the eight diagrams. The board at the door is hard and thick. When the gate is closed, the inner door bolt is bolted, which can resist foreign enemies and is not afraid of fire or guns. People in the building can rest easy. Highlight the ability of Hakka people to resist foreign enemies and protect their intelligence. Generally, the door in the middle is not open, and guests walk from both sides. Leaders at or above the county level are generally required to open the middle door. There are three doors, and the landlord doesn't go to Tianmen, and usually major festivals will be opened. Hakka people are very polite. If a guest answers the door, Hakka people are hospitable, no matter whether the guest is rich or poor. It's a gossip design There is a hall in the innermost part called conference room and banquet living room, which can be used as a stage.
