Ancient architecture refers to the historic civil and public buildings before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), including those in the Republic of China. In China, many ancient towns and most big cities still retain some ancient buildings.
However, in today's great construction, we should treat and protect ancient buildings and their cultural characteristics with a development perspective; We should not only preserve the ancient architecture culture in the world, but also make the ancient cultural heritage have modern value.
Although some ancient buildings are far away from now, their culture is still worth learning from. As descendants of the Chinese people, architectural culture is also a part of China traditional culture. We should not only develop modern architecture, but also absorb nutrition from ancient buildings, so as to blaze a trail of characteristic architecture in China, and let the ancient architectural culture in China be inherited and continued.
Chaoshan cities are all developed from the original counties, cities and ports. According to the traditional urban pattern of China, cities are arranged in a straight line according to the streets and alleys, and some are bent according to the geographical environment or some human reasons. Streets are mostly shops, and alleys are mostly houses. Most shops along the street are single-room or multi-room connected structures, with narrow and deep surfaces, and most of them are hilltop adobe houses.
There is an attic on the floor, the second half is the living room or bedroom, and the first half is the storefront. Shops and people also have houses in alleys. There are many building units in the alley: rich people build three halls, two days, one well, one hospital and one house; Zhonghu builds a quadrangle with two halls and one courtyard (that is, four cents) or a three-way courtyard with one hall and one courtyard (that is, Shanglugen); Small single room or multiple conjoined "bamboo poles".
