Hakka circular tulou is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places of Hakka residential areas, the most famous is Fujian Yongding Tulou, Chengdu Luodai Ancient Town blog building is also the same type of building.
Apple's new headquarters building is also called the spaceship headquarters building, English name Apple Park, located in the United States Cupertino City, condensed Jobs's design efforts, the total cost of up to 5 billion US dollars, from the high bird's eye view is like a doughnut, but also like a large silver ring, if you do not look closely, it is a bit like Chinese Tai Chi, but a closer look will find that the internal line direction is not the same.
Some people say that the Apple spaceship headquarters building is like a Hakka circular tulou with reduced height, and the actual height of this building is actually similar to that of hakka tulou, but because of its large diameter, it looks more delicate.
Some friends joked that "Apple's new headquarters building is simply a high imitation of hakka tulou", and some people lamented the profundity of Chinese architectural art.
In fact, circular buildings are very common in the world, the number of our territory in China is even more numerous, Jobs should just be out of the psychology of simplifying the complex, and the construction effect is really very good, you can say that it hits the face of hakka tulou, you can also say that it hits the face of tires, hula hoops, this topic is just an interesting talk after people's tea and dinner.
Jobs did not say where his design inspiration came from before his death, only that Apple's new headquarters building was like "a landing spaceship", which is related to Apple's positioning as a technology company, and also in line with Jobs's whimsical personality and creative philosophy.
Since you can't go to the United States to punch Apple's new headquarters building, it is also good to punch in the Luoyang Ancient Town blog building in Longquanyi District, Chengdu.
Luodai Ancient Town is a national 4A level scenic spot, currently free of charge to tourists, the blog building is located on the outskirts of the ancient town, is a newly built Hakka walled house, not a historical building.
When they came to Luodai, many people were surprised: Didn't the Hakka people live in Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi? Why are there Hakka people in the Chengdu Plain?
Most of them are descendants of the Hakka people in the Qing Dynasty's "Lake Filling Sichuan" wave of immigrants.
The Hakka brought the culture and folklore of their ancestral homeland, enriching the cultural content of Chengdu.
The blog building is located in the blog town outside Luodai Ancient Town, is one of the local landmarks, and is currently developed into a museum to display and introduce the migration history of the Hakka people, the history of folklore, and you can also see a lot of ancient gadgets here, which is of great help to understand the Hakka folk system.
