Features: Lingnan architecture, as a phenomenon of Lingnan regional culture, is in harmony with the spirit of Lingnan culture, "pioneering in embracing new trends," yet it has also once "set new trends." The creative practice and development process of Lingnan architecture embody certain laws and characteristics of architectural integration, including compatibility, pragmatism, secularism, regionalism, and the integration of era and culture. Therefore, strengthening the theoretical research on Lingnan architecture holds significant academic and practical value. In A Study on Modern Lingnan Architectural Aesthetics, Tang Xiaoxiang proposes the concept of "cultural regional character" to define Lingnan architecture academically, offering an innovative interpretation. In A Study on Modern Lingnan Architectural Aesthetics, Tang Xiaoxiang combines typical case analyses of modern Lingnan architecture with comparative studies of the aesthetic culture of modern Lingnan overseas Chinese hometowns, employing architectural aesthetics theory to make dedicated explorations, conduct in-depth reflections, and propose his own perspectives, which is also a beneficial attempt. However, the study of Lingnan architectural aesthetics remains a brand-new topic and is indeed a formidable task. Further long-term and unremitting in-depth research is still needed in the future. It is hoped that efforts will continue, with constant exploration, to contribute more new achievements.
