More than 1900 years ago, the Hakka people who had gone through turmoil in the Central Plains and moved south came to the mountainous areas of southwest Fujian after several journeys. A single house was built with local raw earth, sand, and wood chips, and then connected to form a large house, and then a thick and closed earth building was built. There are wells dug in the building, and there are granaries, in case of war, bandits, the door is closed, and it is self-contained, and if it is surrounded, it can also be continuous for several months.

Grain is piled up in the building, and livestock are raised; There is a well, if you need to defend against the enemy, you only need to close the gate, a few young adults guard the gate, and the tulou is like a strong fortress, women, children, old and young can sit back and relax.

Among the existing tulou, the round shape is the most eye-catching, and the locals call it the round building or round village.
