Cultural Characteristics of Huizhou Architecture in Ming and Qing Dynasties and Discussion on Pop-up Book Paper Art

Huizhou architecture, a distinct style among China's eight major architectural schools, showcases unique design elements and profound cultural connotations that have endured through the Ming and Qing dynasties. A study focusing on Hongcun village in Shexian County, Anhui Province, reveals how this traditional residential architecture can be creatively reinterpreted using pop-up book paper art techniques. The research demonstrates that Huizhou architecture not only offers a rich material and spiritual aesthetic but also provides a foundation for interactive digital or physical products that 'activate' historical documentation, making it accessible and engaging for future generations. This approach bridges the gap between preservation and innovation, offering new ways to experience and understand cultural heritage.
