It was highlighted that the Hakka's enclosed houses in south Jiangxi has diversified architectural styles and outstanding defensive and living functions. Construction art and religious culture shown by the enclosed houses were interpreted, and the branch of Han people with unique dialects, cultures, folk customs and emotional attitudes was proposed as a miniature of the culture in south Jiangxi. Moreover, it was stressed that more attention of the public and more efforts for the protection should be given to the Hakka's cultures in south Jiangxi, carriers of the locals' history over the past thousands of years.展开更多

Design of the manor concentrates rich cultures, arts and beliefs of the Hakka, thus exploration of Ding's Manor, specifically, its site layout showing Fengshui doctrines of the Hakka, architectural style and watchtower with strict structures, and exquisite decorative arts, show architectural technology and wisdom of the Hakka, and also artistic characteristics of the Hakka's folk dwellings in a certain historical environment, which provides a favorable reference for the construction of modern folk dwellings.展开更多
