As a country with an ancient civilization, a rich historical legacy and magnificent natural scenery, China has already become an active force in the discovery, research and protection of cultural and natural heritage since ratifying the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1985. As the end of 2015, China had 48 cultural relic sites and natural landscapes on the World Heritage List, and it is still pursuing the heritage application process. Chinas cultural and natural heritage belongs not only to China but to the whole world and all of humanity.This book, Chinas World Heritage, is a large-scale pictorial that focuses at length on these 48 legacies. Lively descriptions introducing the related cultural items, history, geography and natural expertise are accompanied by exquisite photographs displaying the unique value of Chinas World Heritage. They help the reader to understand the shape of Chinese culture developed over thousands of years, political ideology, moral concepts, philosophical ideas, aesthetic pursuits, life interests and even the conduct and spirit of the Chinese people. They also inspire people to think about the meaning of traditional culture and the natural environment as a source of power and sustenance in a way we trust will gain the readers support.
The Fujian earthen building is a miracle in Chinas architectural history, maintaining a long migration history and a huge ethnic groups long life memory. The Fujian earthen building is a typical Hakka architectural form. Its birth and development both had to do with Hakkas.Hakkas were originally Hans living near the Yellow River basin on the central plains. From the beginning of the 4th century AD, they were forced to migrate to the south several times due to chaos caused by war and other reasons in nearly 1,000 years. In the course of fleeing their home, either in long and arduous journeys or at new unfamiliar places, they must solve many difficulties through concerted efforts. Therefore, wherever they went, people with the same family name must live together. In the late Southern Song Dynasty 1127-1279 at the latest, they had formed relatively stable ethnic groups in todays Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, etc. To differentiate them from local natives, they were called Hakkas.
