What do Chaoshan pokeweed root and quarter gold mean?

Traditional houses. The architectural pattern of Phytolacca acinosa is slightly inferior to that of Four Points Gold. If you subtract the two front halls with four gold medals, the two corridors will become two front halls, commonly known as "reaching out", and the rest are the same as four gold medals. This building unit is called "Shanglugen", also called "Pick the Lion". The folk saying is that it is shaped like a tiger lion, and the two front cavities are the two front feet of the tiger lion. The construction industry calls this pattern "three-in-one hospital". Because of its different access channels, shanglu is divided into two types: main entrance and side door. Usually there is no gate in the middle, and side doors are opened on both sides, which is called "Dragon Humen", but there are also front doors and side doors open. ?

Shanglu is a kind of residence mostly built in rural areas, with a hall, a big room and a small patio, which is self-contained. Festivals, sacrifices, raising livestock and poultry, storing crops and drying clothes are all very convenient, which are most popular among farmers. Four-point gold "Four-point gold" is a unique country house with fashionable customs. In the past, it could only be built by wealthy families.

The architectural pattern of "Golden Four Points" is a bit like quadrangles in Beijing. Generally, there are walls around, where Yang Cheng and water wells are drilled. There are "wall bellies" on the left and right sides of the gate; The entrance is the front hall, and the rooms on both sides are called the front hall; Then there is an empty patio, one on each side and a kitchen, called "eight-foot room"; The other room, as a woodshed, is generally called a "hand room"; Behind the patio is the hall with a big room on each side. There are many kinds of "four-cent gold" buildings: there are only four main rooms before and after, no hand room and eight-foot room, and the four halls are facing the patio, which is called "four-hall meeting"; If the front and rear rooms are equipped with eight-foot rooms and hand-held rooms, it is called "four-water spray" and the eight rooms are changed into ten rooms. If you build a house outside the "four cents", it is called "four cents plus one bag".
