The Development of An Ancient Village - Xidi, Wannan

Ancient villages in southern Anhui, particularly Xidi, exemplify the distinctive Huizhou architectural style with their unique residential forms and artistic decorations. This study reveals how the morphological structure of these ancient houses has significantly influenced village development over time. By analyzing the residential characteristics and formation causes, researchers provide insights into the evolutionary trajectory of such villages, emphasizing the interplay between architecture and environmental adaptation. The findings underscore the cultural and functional significance of Huizhou architecture in shaping sustainable living environments.
