The magical Wuping Hakka Dragon House has remained unchanged for 300 years.
A few days ago, the reporter found a magical Hakka earth paddock in Linwu Natural Village, Dabu Village, Yan Qian Town. After more than 300 years of ups and downs, its magnificent architectural style is still clearly visible.
Linwu Tuwei Building is located in Dapu Village, Yan Qian Town, which borders Guangdong, and is 1 km away from the seat of the town government and 42km away from the county seat. Seen from a distance, it is fan-shaped and semi-circular, with the local Linjia ancestral hall as the center and spreading outward in a fan shape, with four floors inside and outside. It is folded with the fence in front of the ancestral hall, just forming a circle.
Strange shape, ingenious structure, amazing, into the closed house, you will feel its strangeness. Under the leadership of the local residents of Tulou, the reporter walked along the aisle about 3 meters wide and crossed the alley. What caught his attention was the simple, heavy and ingenious structure of the building, in which the passages extended in all directions, like a maze; The building materials are simple, simple and durable. The surrounding buildings are all civil structures, with about 200 rooms, more than 20 households and 100 residents. Compared with ordinary houses, each circle of relatively independent closed houses is contiguous, which concentrates many functions such as defending the enemy in wartime, daily production and life, fire fighting and so on. According to local residents, in order to show respect for ancestors, each enclosure does not exceed two floors, one is 2.2 meters and the other is 2.4 meters. These houses are built along the slope. With the terrain, the last room is 2 inches higher than the next one.
According to the local Lin family tree-Biography of Dabulin Family in Jinan Hall, Lin's Ancestral Hall "is a civil structure, built around 1700 ... there is a wide lime flat and a semi-arc pond with walls in front of the ancestral hall ..." As one of the five major residential buildings in China, the dragon enclosure in front of the reporter can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the history of Hakka architecture. After several storms, the Dragon House still shows its magnificent architectural style.
