| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hakka’s traditional circular houses (Kejia Tulou), found in the southwestern part of Fujian, China, have traditionally been built by a large-scale Zongzu (Han Chinese patrilineal organization) or several Zongzus. The construction process of these Tulous and the reorganization of Zongzu are closely related. This study revealed that when people who had lived in Tulou built new Tulou, that funds and labor were provided not by one Fang (Han Chinese households) group but by multiple Fang groups. This case study shows a situation different from cases in which a specific Fang group develops unequally in Zongzu organization and that Fang group forms property, it was commonly seen in previous discussions of Zongzu studies. Also, the researcher of the project pointed out that there is a high possibility of Tourou house residents who have been living in the same place for several generations electing a specific ancestor. If the building is new, however, this trend cannot be seen.
