The oldest large earth building in Nanjing is very majestic in appearance and there are people living inside. However, the location is awkward. A separate building stands in the village, unlike the Tianluokeng Scenic Area and the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area.

Entering the earth building, it is true that all the pillars of the corridors above the second floor have a certain angle tilt, especially the third and fourth floors are more obvious, and the tilt direction of the two columns is the opposite.

Yuchang Building has a history of 700 years, and it still can't stand after the weather. Worth visiting,

Yuchang Building, located in Shuyang Town, Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, Xiaban Village, Village Shangjie Club, built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty (about 1368), is the oldest and largest round building known. 5 floors high 18.2 meters, 54 rooms per floor, a total of 270 rooms, covering an area of 2,289 square meters, construction area 6358.2 square meters, civil structure, corridor-style round building; the first floor wall is thick 1.8 meters, and the upper floor is reduced by 10 cm. The interior walls of the building are built with fir trees. Sitting west facing east, sitting on the lotus point for Guanyin. This is the oldest existing earth building in Fujian, Yuchang Building, known as the "mother of Fujian earth building". Its exterior walls are mottled and cracked, and look like a wrinkled old man. According to the Zhang clan genealogy record: Yuchang Building was built in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty (1308), and has a history of more than 700 years. Don't look at its exterior wall surface mottled, in fact, its wall is still solid, built by Liu, Luo, Zhang, Tang, Fan Wu surnamed people. Is this "dangerous house" built 700 years ago still occupied by anyone? Tulou from the third floor, beams, beams, columns are tilted from left to right, the largest tilt angle reached 15 °, the oblique beam crooked column brought irregular door frames, asymmetric windows, as if to deliberately destroy the rigorous composition of Chinese buildings. Maybe everyone will think that this must be caused by the sinking of the foundation! If so, then the pillars on the first and second floors should also be crooked! In fact, you can clearly see that the pillars on the first and second floors are positive, not crooked at all! It's strange. About the reason for Yuchang Building's east and west slope, a beautiful scientific legend is circulating in the local area. The carpenter who built this building brought a group of apprentices, all of them were superb, and the carpenter master took over the construction of many earth buildings such as Yuchang Building. When the Yuchang Building was built to the second floor, in order to test the real kung fu of the apprentices, the master engaged in a "technological competition" activity. Since Yuchang Building has been built to the second floor, the limitations of displaying skills are large, so he handed over the construction task of Yuchang Building to the apprentice. The apprentice received this "half-razi" project, and thought for seven days and seven nights. In order to show his superb woodworking skills, he used the mechanical principle of the circular earth building to squeeze each other from the third floor. He deliberately sawed the wooden beam columns into oblique angles, so that people could see that the beams and columns were crooked. But the wall is still strong, become a must-have. Want to finish, he found the five major shareholders to build Yuchang Building, to make up the place chosen by Yuchang Building, from the third floor, must tilt the pillar, this is the need of Fengshui pedestal, after the construction is completed, will be able to flourish. Moreover, the style of this building is unique in the world, and as a result, in the technical competition, the apprentice won the first place. It has also become a great spectacle of "Fujian Tulou". From the outside, Yuchang Building is like a large group that is closely united, and there is a round ancestral hall in the building, forming a "double ring building". The ancestral hall has three doors, the main entrance is the Happy Gate, all the happy things or ask God to worship Buddha from the Happy Gate; the left is the Happy Gate, all the children who pray for peace to grow up and make a difference from the Happy Gate; the right door is the Happy Gate, all the Happy Gate enters and exits from the Happy Gate. In front of the middle hall of the building, a large circle paved with colorful river pebbles, five in the circle
