Walking in the hutong of Beijing, you'll see a yard with houses and walls on all four sides. It is called siheyuan, a traditional building in China. Si means east, west, south and north. And he shows the traditional values(价值观) of Chinese families.
The big gate is painted red, because red means luck and happiness. Behind the gate, a large wall stands. In the centre of the siheyuan, it's the courtyard with trees and flowers, with two paths(小路) leading to the houses on each side.
The whole building usually faces south with a main room in the north, an opposite(对面的) room in the south, and eastern and western wings(厢房) on each side. The old usually live in the main room with good lighting and temperature(温度) while the young would live in other wings.
Today, influenced by(受到……影响) the changes of the society(社会), most of these houses are taken down. But some of them still remain till these days. People make some changes to them to make them fit for today's modern living.
Luckily, ▲. Some architects(建筑师) are trying to make a perfect mix of the modern and the traditional culture. They try to build a bridge between the past(过去) and the present. For example, the places where athletes(运动员) stayed during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing were designed in the shape of siheyuan.
Siheyuan's shared spaces show the values deep in Chinese people's hearts such as the importance of family and respect for older people. No matter how society has changed, the siheyuan is always seen as a symbol of China's rich culture. When you come to Beijing, do visit a siheyuan to feel the heart of Beijing's culture!
