The century-old architectural complex of De'anli is a marvel of Chaozhou architectural art
📍To delve into the architecture of Puning residential buildings, one must mention De'anli. It is the family settlement of the Fang Yao family, the admiral of the Guangdong naval forces during the Qing Dynasty, with a history of over 150 years.
🔗Throughout the annals of history, despite the vicissitudes of time, De'anli has preserved its architecture quite intact. With its large scale and complete range of architectural styles, it is considered a marvel of Chaozhou architectural art and is also a rare example of a mansion-style ancient village in China.
🏠The entire architectural complex covers an area of 63,000 square meters, with a built area of 32,000 square meters. Inside the fortress, there are official halls, ancestral halls, Buddhist halls, studies, storerooms, attics, etc., totaling 773 rooms, with architectural patterns such as 'Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix', 'Four-Horse Carriage', 'Four Gold Points', and 'Descending Tiger'. Due to its rare architectural layout and unique design style, it has been included in the civil architecture textbooks of the School of Architecture at South China University of Technology.
📷De'anli has now been transformed into a museum, art gallery, and antique city among other cultural industry entities. De'anli is a national AAA tourist attraction, a traditional Chinese village, one of the first batch of 27 ancient villages in Guangdong Province, the fifth batch of Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Units, a Guangdong Provincial Humanities and Social Sciences Popularization Demonstration Base, a Jieyang City Science and Education Base, and one of the eight scenic spots in Jieyang City.

De'anli in Puning, the former residence of Fang Yao, the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy
De'anli is located in the southern village of Hongyang Town, the old city of Puning, Guangdong. It is a family-style settlement built by Fang Yao, the general of Chaozhou in the late Qing Dynasty, and his brothers. It was built in the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871) and has a history of 150 years.
As the largest, best-preserved, and oldest mansion-style architectural complex in the Chaoshan area, De'anli is also a rare mansion-style ancient village in China. The entire architectural complex is divided into three parts: the old village, the middle village, and the new village, according to the construction time. The village has 773 rooms including official halls, ancestral halls, Buddhist halls, study rooms, dining rooms, warehouses, and lofts.
Despite the vicissitudes of life, De'anli is still relatively well preserved. Its grand scale and complete architectural style are a gem of Chaoshan residential architecture. With its rare layout and unique design, De'anli has also been included in the textbook of civil architecture of the School of Architecture of South China University of Technology.
The layout of the old village buildings is commonly known as 'a hundred birds facing the phoenix', which means that the houses surrounding the main building, the Fang family temple, are exactly one hundred. The hundred houses are like 'a hundred birds' facing the main ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall is like a 'phoenix'. The architectural layout of the new village and the middle village is commonly known as 'four horses pulling a cart'. The large ancestral hall in the middle symbolizes the 'cart', and the buildings on both sides symbolize the 'horses' pulling the cart. The ancestors sitting on the 'cart' are pulled by the descendants symbolizing the 'horses' on both sides, coming from ancient times, the rise and fall of the family, the glory of the ancestors, and the prosperity of the descendants, are all in sight. In addition, there are interesting architectural layouts such as 'three halls across', 'four points of gold', 'downhill tiger', 'one-legged lion', etc. Friends who like to study ancient Chinese architecture can come here to explore.
Walking in De'anli, in addition to admiring the ancient architecture, there are many antique shops in the old buildings. Various antiques and old objects are dazzling, which is very suitable for friends who like treasure hunting to taste and explore.
Foodies who like food can also taste various special snacks here and experience a different taste journey.

Puning Du's ancient village, with a centuries-old tradition of handmade lantern craftsmanship
Xilong Village is located in the northern part of Puning City, Guangdong Province. This ancient village carries a long history and unique cultural charm. It is one of the earliest formed villages in Puning City and even the entire Chaoshan area. The founder of the village is Du Zhuxuan, the commander of Chaozhou Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty.
According to records, during the Dali years of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, due to wars, Du Zhuxuan led his family and villagers to migrate from Putian, Fujian to Chaozhou Rongshui Ancient Fortress (now Puning Chiwei Mashan area). Later, when the great Zen master passed by, Du Zhuxuan respected him greatly and had a deep discussion with him about Buddhism. They hit it off and donated Liangshan as a Taoist site, planted fruit trees in front of the rocks, and set up a year-round oil offering. Du Zhuxuan led the villagers to migrate to Xilong and finally settled down here. Today, nearly ten thousand descendants of the Du family still live on this land.
The villagers mainly rely on traditional handicrafts for their livelihood. They inherit the ancient tradition of bamboo weaving. The bamboo hats and bamboo fans they make are sold at home and abroad. One of the highlights of Xilong Village is its famous Xilong lanterns (lantern colors), which have been selected as the 'Eighth Batch of Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative Project List'.
In the Yuande Building in Xilong Village, we visited the Xilong Lantern (Lantern Color) Workshop and learned about the past and present of Xilong Lanterns and the production process. The technique of Xilong lanterns has been passed down for hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty. It is a very characteristic intangible cultural industry in the local area. Here, every household makes a living by making bamboo lanterns.
Because the lanterns are handmade, they have to go through complicated processes such as weaving, pasting paper, coloring, and applying tung oil, which takes a long time, so the price of Xilong lanterns is not cheap, each ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, usually the bigger the more expensive.
Xilong Village has a profound cultural heritage, with rich folk culture such as Xilong English songs and dances, Xilong lanterns, and the famous Masiyan Temple in its jurisdiction, which is a key cultural relic protection unit in Puning City. Every year on the evening of the 15th of the first lunar month, the villagers will hold a bamboo lantern lighting ceremony to create a festive atmosphere for the village.
