- Abstract
Weilongwu, or Enclosed Dragon House, in Xingning-Meizhou Region constitutes a unique style of traditional Hakka residential buildings. Developed out of architectural forms of ancestral Hakka habitats in Central China and adapted to the climate, landforms and resources of East-Guangdong mountainous areas, it has received significant influence from Xingluan School of Fengshui Studies, which used to circulate among early Hakka communities. Most current studies on Weilongwu only provide exterior descriptions and superficial Fengshui prescriptions. This paper goes further in depth to analyze the siting, direction and formation, as well as underlying cultural features of Weilongwu in the above-mentioned region under the instruction of the morphologic theory of Xingluan School, as expressed in such canonical works as Hanglong Jin, Boshan Thesis, and Shuilong Jin, with a view to illuminating the influence of Xingluan School on the formative logic of Weilongwu construction. The present study hopes to provide new visions for related research on civil residential architecture.
