Huizhou Residence Pedigree

Huizhou residences is a typical traditional architecture where Huizhou people live together.The buildings and spaces constructed reflect the concept of the harmony between man and nature.Under the background of rapid urbanization and large-scale rural construction,the large quantity and good quality residential houses in Huizhou have gradually lost part of their locality characteristics in the trend of diversified construction modes,construction industrialization and cultural diversification.Therefore,it is of great importance for architectural heritage protection and sustainable development to trace the origin of Huizhou residences and clarify their formation rules and regional characteristics.The pedigree research of Huizhou residences is integrated with human,land and architecture,which has strong comprehensibility and intersecting.The research process is generally combined with diachronic and synchronic comprehensive analysis,focusing on the sorting,summarizing and comparison of genealogical matrices,and presenting them in the form of maps.Based on the methods of pedigree and from the perspective of geography and anthropology,this thesis analyzes the formation mechanism of the pedigree of Huizhou residences which takes geography,clan,and language as the breakthrough point,and judges the composition level and synchronic division of Huizhou residence pedigree,The Chengkan ancient settlement in the core area of Huizhou is selected as the key research object,and four aspects of residential pedigree matrix,including settlement form,cluster structure,house shape and structure type,were summarized and a visual characteristic map is drawn.Through the above research,the following conclusions can be drawn:(1)Factors influencing the formation of Huizhou residence pedigree: geography,clan,and language have a decreasing effect on each level of Huizhou residence pedigree.Geography mainly affects the distribution of settlement groups and the morphology of individual settlements;the clan relationship in clan has a high structural similarity with the residential groups;the language carries the construction methods of residences and records the propagation path of the craftsmanship.(2)Huizhou residence pedigree level and floristic division: the level composition from large to small is settlement group-settlement-cluster-residence-structuredecoration,and the corresponding pedigree matrix is the distribution of settlement group,settlement form,cluster structure,house shape and structure,architecture type and decoration skills;Simultaneous division is divided into Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ area,and the core area is located in the middle of Ⅰ area and the south of Ⅱ area.(3)The residence pedigree matrix of Chengkan ancient settlement: the morphological elements of the settlement are hierarchical and the development is staged;The morphology of clusters is multi-core distribution and hierarchical,which could be divided into 3 levels and about 16clusters: community house,ancestral hall and branch temple.The house shape has a variety of forms,which can be divided into 4 basic types,5 derivative types and 5 combined types.The main type of frame is multi-layer bucket frame,which is divided into 7 basic types.In practice,there are 2 basic derivative changes of column reduction and column increase.Through the comprehensive analysis of macro-micro,diachronic and synchronic,the conclusions drawn above can provide a comparative reference for the study of the family pedigree in Huizhou and its related domains,and provide a theoretical reference for the protection and inheritance of Huizhou residence.Figure [58] table [21] reference [87]...
