Ever since he began working at the age of 18, Xu Songsheng from Longyan, Fujian Province, has been deeply committed to Tulou construction projects. For Xu, Tulou isn't just architecture; it's a living tradition that embodies the spirit of his community.
Among the various techniques involved in building these iconic earthen structures, tiling stands out as the most valued form of craftsmanship. Xu believes that precise tiling not only enhances the durability of the Tulou but also preserves its aesthetic appeal, ensuring that each building remains a testament to Hakka ingenuity for future generations.
