Tulou: World Heritage Site is also a 'home'

2024-08-06

Recently, the 2024 "Harmonious Symphony Tulou Echoes" - China US "Generation Z" Youth Music Exchange Conference was held at the Tianzhong Fu Scenic Area in Nanjing County. On that day, it happened that the 2024 Fujian China US Youth Exchange Camp, a province wide event, entered Nanjing. The American youth and Chinese teachers and students who participated in the exchange camp also enjoyed the concert together, experiencing the collision and integration of Eastern and Western cultures. Why was this concert chosen in Tulou? Tulou, a treasure of Chinese residential architecture, is a unique and mythical mountain village residential building in the world. It stands proudly among the world's residential architecture art with its long history, unique style, grand scale, and exquisite structure. The locals living in the Tulou are often asked, "What do you remember the Tulou to be like?" The children's answers are "ancient," "timeless," and "simple." However, Uncle Jian, who has lived in the Tulou for thirty years, has a slightly different answer. The huge earthen building has memories of Uncle Jian in almost every corner, places where he played and frolicked when he was young, the kitchen used by the family, the room where he used to live with his cousin, and childhood friends and playmates... This is probably the feeling of "home". He said, this earthen building is now 292 years old, and I hope it can live to be 600 years old! Before becoming a world heritage site, Tulou was also a home for people. Playing in Tulou, a place where people used to live, may allow performers to truly feel the existence of human beings and communicate with the human spirit. I think this activity is very interesting because we can have the opportunity to learn about Chinese art and other things. I will definitely come back This made me realize that hundreds of years ago, neighbors sat together to eat, surrounded by the atmosphere, and had a special sense of home, especially moving children like us who are studying abroad From the ends of the earth, people who have never met before gather here to share memories of their homes with the same generation and witness the place where a generation grew up. In 2008, the Earthen Building in Fujian Province was included in the The World Heritage List. The greater the architecture, the more vibrant it will be because of the people on this land. There are people like Uncle Jian who grew up in Tulou, as well as people from all over the world who come to experience Tulou. As long as there are endless people coming to listen to Tulou's stories, Uncle Jian's wish for Tulou to live to be 600 years old will definitely come true. (New Society)
