A...Thanks to everyone for visiting and commenting.<br /><br />An update about the first card, the ancestral house. The original houses were less extreme in their shape but because this type of house is associated with status in the community (only nobles were allowed build them) they were built higher and with a more exaggerated curve. Traditionally the roofs used to be bamboo or a similar material but now they are made of metal.<br /><br />One legend has it that the shape of the roof represents the boats used to travel from south China, another that it represents the sky.Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140046386364588303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-17431806077789369812010-10-30T20:40:14.636+01:002010-10-30T20:40:14.636+01:00My Country is beautifully.. thanks anywayMy Country is beautifully.. thanks anywayomponkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754606052032051407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-91475890780683862162010-10-30T20:12:55.102+01:002010-10-30T20:12:55.102+01:00Our compassion is spotty, for various reasons.
