Abstract

The Confucian Analects: Zi Lu: “The gentleman aims at harmony, and not at uniformity. The mean man aims at uniformity, and not at harmony.” “Harmony but not uniformity” refers to the pursuit of internal harmony and unity instead of apparent uniformity. There are more than 20,000 Yongding Hakka Earth Buildings, the world cultural heritages, which have the same internal architectural structure but diversified architectural forms. This article discusses “the embodiment of harmony but not uniformity in Hakka Earth Buildings” from such aspects as times, geographical locations and personal aesthetics.
