Features: The ancient residences and grand mansions mentioned in this book, whether they are old vernacular houses or the residences and guild halls of prominent families, all fall under the category of architectural structures. It is precisely these buildings that provide humans with a place to live, reside, and find spiritual solace. "A house is the foundation of a person. When people live in a house, if they feel secure, the family will prosper." People stand because of houses, and houses exist because of people. The connection between people and houses resonates with the universe, infusing life into the house and adding color to life. This speaks of the living environment, "harmony between heaven and man," the interdependent and mutually supportive relationship between people and their surroundings. "A piece of land nurtures its people," this is the ideal state of harmonious coexistence between people, society, and nature.
