Taiwan Through the Ages: Minnan Red-brick Houses

Traditional Minnan houses are made of red bricks, and decorated with distinctive high dovetail ridges that form elegant arcs. The craftsmen use bricks, stones, and wood, as well as a unique "brick-in-stone" masonry method, and decorate the houses with vibrant paintings. These red brick houses, which carries the memory of the clan, serve as a fiery symbol of Minnan culture and the customs of the hometown of overseas Chinese. #Taiwanthroughtheages
