Features: Ancient residential buildings, weathered by time, deserve our attention. Architecture is a symbol of human civilization. The evolution of human dwellings accompanies the development of human civilization. From being nomadic to building simple shelters, this small step has taken a long time. Today, facing the ancient residential buildings still existing on the land, a historically conscious person cannot help but think that they are the accumulation of time, the accumulation of culture, and the crystallization of the labor and creativity of ancestors. A distant emotion stirs in the heart. Let us pause and ask about the (wind and rain) it has endured, and gaze deeply at the weathered years on its body. Ancient residential buildings are worth reading like a book. Statistics show that residential and noble buildings are one of the largest types of ancient Chinese architecture, and the residential architecture of Fujian is an integral part of Chinese residential architecture. Fujian-style residential buildings have enriched the artistic treasure trove of Chinese residential architecture with their distinctive features. The publication of this series of books, I believe, will naturally draw people's attention to Fujian's ancient residential buildings once again. In fact, it is also necessary to pay a solemn visit to the residential buildings of all dynasties on the land of Fujian. At the end, I would also like to say that I hope the publication of this series of books will help people recognize Fujian's ancient residential buildings, understand their vicissitudes and beauty, and recognize their enduring value. I also hope it will help remind people of the importance of protecting ancient residential buildings. Fujian's ancient residential buildings are undoubtedly a valuable cultural heritage. They belong not only to Fujian and the Chinese nation but also to all of humanity.
