Hey,everybady. I am happy to join mylot.now let me have an introduction for myself.i am from Fujian provice of china.Have you heard the Fujian Tulou,also called earth building,which is listed to World Cultural Heritage in 2008.A total of 46 Fujian Tulou Sites,including Chengqi lou,Zhencheng lou,Zhenfu lou,chuxi tulou cluster,Hongkeng tulou cluster,Tianluokeng tulou cluster,Gaobei tulou cluster,Dadi tulou cluster are inscrbed by UNESCO as world cultural site.I spent my childhood in earth buildings.Now i always enjoy the momery of that time.It is too sweet and happy.I hope the earth building can be knowed to people worldwide.They are all made of earth and wood,which normall have 3 floors,2 circles and can be lived by dozens of people,even up to one hundred.Their feature is the exceptional examples of a building tradiction and funciton exemplifying a particular type of communal living and defensive organization.
