Fujian Tulou matured in the late Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and Republic of China. The earth building is based on stone, with raw soil as the main raw material, rammed and staggered in layers, with bamboo as the wall bone and T-shaped knot with wooden anchor. Fujian earth buildings are square or round, mainly round, scattered like pearls between green mountains and green rivers in southwest Fujian.
Fujian Tulou follows the oriental philosophy of "harmony between man and nature". It is based on local materials, and the site is located along the mountain or stream. Its architectural style is simple and rugged, with beautiful and peculiar form, appropriate scale, complete functions and strong practicability. It complements the green mountains, green waters and rural scenery, forming a suitable living environment and a harmonious and unified landscape between man and nature.
