| description | The ornamental craftsmanship of the doors and windows of Hui-style architecture demonstrates the centuries-old, intangible culture of Huizhou, of which the Huizhou three carvings (brick, stone, and wood carvings) have received increasing attention from researchers in recent years. This study aims to identify the characteristics of the Huizhou three carvings of doors and windows in Hui-style architecture in order to better preserve and develop this ornamental craftsmanship. To achieve this aim, an ethnographic design was used. The study found that the history, process, and location of Huizhou three carvings have obvious regional characteristics. This study can be useful for all stakeholders (scholars, architects, and craftsmen) in Hui-style architecture. |
