What impression does Huizhou’s ancient dwellings leave on you?

The walls of Hui houses are generally very high. Most men are doing business abroad, so this wall plays a role in preventing theft and confining women. The simple height gives people a gloomy and depressing feeling. Therefore, two windows are often carved with bluestones on the walls. The pattern is often a magpie climbing a plum blossom, symbolizing the good news of spring after the cold weather, which is also the yearning of the wife and children at home. , it is also a blessing for outsiders; if two families share a common door, it will be convenient for the two women at home to visit each other to chat and relieve boredom in their free time, or to help each other in case of emergency. This door is a round door, warning the two families to get along harmoniously. Since facade is called "face", it is as important as a person's face. It is the primary impression of the family's identity and cultivation. Ordinary people only carve more carefully on the small eaves above the door. There is a saying circulating in ancient Huizhou: "For hundreds of years, people have done nothing but accumulate good deeds." The walls are high and the space in the mountainous area is cramped. The overall layout and geographical conditions do not allow for large eaves. Looking at the purpose of this small eaves, there is no doubt that it is The extension and pattern adjustment of the awareness of “accumulating good deeds”. Officials, on the other hand, may have taken advantage of their relative wealth and power to build their doors into an outward-facing eight-character shape, because "the eight-character door opens to the south." The door pillows are shaped like stone drums, and the drums are used to raise the hall. Of course, some people open doors like this. On Xidi Main Street, the "Da Fu Di" was built in the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The colorful building facing the street is at the corner of the street, and the door is just under it. The owner thought of the people coming and going on the corner, carrying baskets and so on. It was very inconvenient to walk, so the door was recessed toward the back, and the corners of the wall were rounded to a height of one person. The owner wrote on the lintel: "Take a step back and think about it." Taking a step back, the sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the rounded corners mean that everything must be convenient for others, but there must be no "principles", so the parts above the height of a person are still at right angles. There are three doors behind the main door. The middle door is opened only for weddings and weddings or the arrival of distinguished guests; the left and right doors are for civil and military affairs, imitating the style of the palace. Merchants here are very particular about it. At that time, the social status of merchants was not high. For the sake of self-esteem, they made the crossbar on the door into the shape of an ingot upside down, just like today, it means to post blessings upside down during the New Year, but they are not just about it. This mouthful is because they have a lot of money, and in this way, the whole door becomes a business that lacks "口". No matter who you are, as long as you come to my door and pass under my door, the word "Shang" will become the inevitable way to enter the house, and you will also become a part of the word "Shang" and a "piece" of my word "Shang". Mouth." Isn't this just like the living situation of everyone in our commodity society right now?
