Hundred-Year-Old Residential House in Yuqing

　　The hundred-year-old Korean residential house is located at the foot of a mountain in Yuqing Town, enjoying a sheltered, sunny location amidst elegant surroundings by the mountains and water. With a history of over a hundred years, it is a typical Korean-style house that retains relatively primitive residential characteristics. The house features a large roof shape, with a flat middle section and upturned ends — the flat middle part resembles a boat sailing on water, while the upturned ends look like flying cranes. All the lines and surfaces that make up the large roof are composed of gentle curves and curved planes, with major contour lines such as the roof ridge painted in thick white lines. The stable, unadorned curves and surfaces, along with the bold white outline lines beyond the eaves, are what distinguish the Korean large roof from those of the Han Chinese and Japanese. The doors and windows are fitted with finely latticed wooden grids and covered with window paper. Great care is taken in the design of the window lattice shapes, featuring a wide variety of floral patterns, combinations of long and short sections, coordination between square and round elements, and a balanced mix of density and spacing, all striving for neatness, elegance, and vibrancy — features rarely seen in Northeast Asia. The exterior presents an expansive, stable, and approachable scale. Viewed from the facade, it consists of three parts: the roof, the main body, and the base.
