- 1894
杨阿苗宅位于福建省泉州市鲤城区江南镇亭店村，是菲律宾著名华侨杨阿苗先生的故居。这座宅邸始建于清光绪二十年（1894年），历时13年完工，是闽南传统民居建筑的杰出代表。
Yang Amiao Mansion is a traditional Chinese residential complex located in Tingdian Village, Jiangnan Town, Quanzhou District. It was built by Yang Amiao, a prominent overseas Chinese from the Philippines. Construction began in 1894, during the 20th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, and took 13 years to complete. It is a representative example of traditional Southern Fujian residential architecture, known for its spacious and well-organized layout.
独特设计：东护厝的前半部分设有花厅，与护厝入口门厅之间通过卷棚式方亭相连。方亭内设有美人靠木栏杆，将侧庭院分为两个小巧的庭院，形成一个相对独立的小单元，用作书房和待客场所，营造出宁静雅致的氛围。
Unique Features: The front part of the east wing features a flower hall, connected to the entrance hall by a convolute-style square pavilion. Inside the pavilion, there is a railing with a “meiren kao” (a kind of wooden balustrade), which divides the side courtyard into two small and exquisite courtyards. This creates a relatively independent unit, serving as a study and guest room, and contributes to a quiet and elegant atmosphere.
主体建筑：主体建筑为五开间，两侧设有护厝，进深为两进。建筑采用传统的穿斗式木构架。
Main Building: It features a five-bay main hall with protective wings on both sides and a two-row depth structure. The wooden framework is constructed using the traditional cantilevered beam system.
屋顶设计：屋顶为悬山式，覆盖着筒瓦，并装饰有燕尾脊，这是闽南建筑的典型风格。
Roof Design: The roof is of the gable type, covered with barrel tiles and adorned with swallow-tail shaped ridges, which are characteristic of Southern Fujian architecture.
庭院设计：除了中心的大天井外，东西厢房（又称“榉头间”）与门屋、正屋之间还设有四个小天井，这种布局被称为“五梅花天井”，有利于通风和采光，同时也丰富了内院的空间层次。
Courtyard Design: In addition to the central large courtyard, there are four smaller courtyards between the east and west wing rooms (known as “ju tou jian”) and the main and gate houses. This unique layout, locally referred to as the “five plum blossom courtyards,” enhances ventilation and lighting while enriching the internal spatial arrangement.
护厝与走廊：东西护厝呈长列布置，通过南北向的走廊相连，这是闽南民居的典型布局。
Wings and Corridors: The east and west wings are arranged in a long row and connected by a corridor that runs through from north to south. This is a typical layout in Southern Fujian residential architecture.
