 Tulous from the She (Yao)??
Author: Jorg Ostrowski

Dear Friends:

The below web sites says that the ethnic group the She, may have given the Hakka Tulou architecture? Has anyone heard of this before? Is there any proof or sites to visit?

"But there is now evidence of the existence of the tulou from before the arrival of the Hakka, most are today inhabited by other, South Chinese, ethnic groups.

The She people (a subgroup of the Yao people) lived here in the hills before the Hakka and inspired them in such matters as gender roles, division of labour, and even their architecture. "

Jorg,

I believe it is the other way round. Hakka fleeing from the north built the tulou to defend themselves from southern local attacks, and the She were the locals. This is just my guess. I don't think one can find an answer any more. She and Hakka are now sort of integrated.

Dr. LS Lee:

Thanks for the feedback. I was not sure if the authour was a She or not. But I am still trying to find the ancestor of the round or square tulou before 769 (Fuxin lou). It seems to defy any clear evolution or precedent in architecture. Any leads would be appreciated.

Jorg
