A tulou, a type of communal earth-built dwelling, is constructed using stones as the foundation. With raw earth as the main material, supplemented by bamboo and wood as the framework, it is built through a process of intertwining and stacking, layer by layer. In the process of restoring a tulou, the craftsmen are considered not only architects but also sculptors. It is said that a tulou requires maintenance only once a century, and a single round of restoration is enough to keep it standing for another hundred years. However, nowadays young people are no longer interested in learning the necessary skills, casting a shadow over the future of the tulou.
