In Chinese architecture, the layout of quadrangle courtyards is elaborate. The placement of the main house and side rooms follows the principle of giving precedence to the elders and distinguishing between the senior and junior, as well as the hierarchical order, reflecting the traditional family ethical concepts. The cultural connotations behind this spatial layout are not explicitly stated but quietly convey the family order in daily life. Moreover, looking at the table manners, the younger generation should not start eating until the elders pick up their chopsticks. This implicitly teaches us to respect the elders and inherit filial piety, which is the continuation of cultural inheritance with every chop and scoop.

I think intangible cultural heritage has always been the indispensable hidden culture of Chinese culture.
The colorful intangible cultural heritage is the cornerstone of human civilization, the embodiment of cultural diversity, the foundation and symbol of the existence of countries and nations, the source of people's creativity, and the guarantee for the sustainable development of human society. It plays an irreplaceable and important role.
Intangible cultural heritage is produced under specific historical conditions, from a certain region, a certain nation's profound traditional culture, a long process of development, through the vicissitudes of time, preserved and handed down. For example, a considerable part of folk literature is myths and legends of ancient times, which carry a rich history, reflect historical and cultural traditions and cultural changes, and bear witness to the flow between modern and traditional, from which we can vividly understand the level of production and development, social organization structure, lifestyle, moral customs, and ideological taboos in different historical periods.
Intangible cultural heritage is the "living" embodiment of national personality and national aesthetics, plays an important role in inheriting and uniting the national spirit, is the life power and spiritual support for maintaining the existence and development of the nation, is the source of realizing the rejuvenation of national culture and sustainable social development, and is people's "spiritual home".
The educational value of intangible cultural heritage is also reflected in the process of intangible cultural heritage inheritors implanting their valuable skills, as well as in the process of researching and teaching intangible cultural heritage as a professional expert and teaching intangible cultural heritage in schools and society.

Symmetry aesthetics is a kind of Chinese hidden culture, which has profound connotation and is often used in ancient architecture. If the picture space is divided into two equal parts with a straight line, the quality between them is not only the same but also the distance is equal, which is the symmetry used in ancient China. Symmetry often gives people a sense of solemnity, with classical beauty and a sense of order, the scenery of the central axis of Beijing is the best example.
However, this kind of neat standard architectural culture hidden behind the Chinese pursuit of maintenance level and order. Only by fully meeting these requirements can the ancient Chinese architecture finally deal with the social interpersonal relationship with the ancient Chinese people according to the traditional distance, elder and younger, close and distant, and then according to the superior and inferior. Therefore, the distinction between primary and secondary and internal and external levels derived from symmetrical buildings can also be used to distinguish human levels to maintain the order of class society.

Every region of ancient Chinese architecture has its own characteristics. The quadrangle courtyard architecture in the north follows the principle of central axis symmetry, with the main house located at the center of the central axis. This architectural pattern combines both ancestral rituals and family happiness, making it a typical residential building in the north. The architectural style in the south is more inclined towards expressing emotions to the mountains and rivers, exquisite and beautiful.
Speaking of Huizhou style architecture. Due to its location in the southern part of Anhui Province, Huizhou has a complex terrain and variable climate. Huizhou style architecture often follows the terrain and adopts a staggered layout, unlike the orderly and rigorous courtyard houses in the north. -
