徽派建筑的文化意蘊是一種情懷，就像仿古高分子瓦對品質的苛求一樣。

在徽州建筑的物質文化中隱含著深層的精神文化。它們雖然是無形的，卻在時刻影響著人們的行為方式、價值觀念和審美情趣，從而為建筑物質文化的產生與發展提供了感性的有利條件。

徽派建筑作為中國古代社會后期成熟的一大建筑流派,集中反應了徽州的山地特征、風水意愿和地域美學傾向,房屋一般坐北朝南,倚山面水。布局以中軸線對稱分列,面闊三間,中為廳堂,兩側為室,廳堂前方稱“天井”,代表徽州人一種特殊的精神寄托,亦有“四水歸堂”的吉祥寓意。作為一個傳統建筑流派,徽派建筑融古雅、簡潔、富麗為一體,至今仍保持著獨有的文化特色和藝術風格。

reputation out of doors was not calculated to back it up. I was turned over to him now, and when I saw him take his snuff and let the business go, I regretted my aunt's thousand pounds more than ever.

But this was not the worst of it. There were a number of hangers-on and outsiders about the Commons, who, without being proctors themselves, dabbled in common-form business, and got it done by real proctors, who lent their names in consideration of a share in the spoil; - and there were a good many of these too. As our house now wanted business on any terms, we joined this noble band; and threw out lures 

徽派建筑文化受到了古典生態觀中風水理論的深刻影響，外表具有宗教的神秘色彩，實質上體現了古代人們樸素的自然觀和生態觀，是一種天人合一的觀念，也體現了對自然的順從和適應。它們以最直接的方式與自然接觸，采用自然采光和通風的形式，定居地靠近水源及物質材料的獲取場所，建造材料與營造方式都是當地所能獲取的。

此外，儒家思想的宗法禮制文化、程朱理學的封建倫理、道家老莊哲學、“賈而好儒”的徽商文化無一不在這些精美的建筑中體現出來。它們既是物質的財富，又是精神的寶藏；既是技術產物，又是藝術的創作，其精神內涵的作用遠遠超出了建筑本身的功能。

結語

人類的一切文化都是從造物開始的。一座稱得上建筑的房子，總是物化了一個時期的思想和技術，物化了一個時期的文化，物化了人們的人生觀。建筑是一種豐富的信息載體與文化形態，它是那個時代、那個民族、那個國家、那個地域的社會觀念、經濟基礎的綜合。既有人們對材料、結構、加工工藝的理解，即自然科學的信息凝聚，也有人們生活方式、社會結構的反饋，即社會科學信息的記錄。這些都是前人留給我們的寶貴文化遺產。

歷史悠久的徽派建筑，是中華民族傳統文化的一個重要組成部分。作為世界人類文化遺產，其獨特的建筑造型與豐富多彩的設計思想，不僅為我們后人建造了一個精彩的物質世界，也為我們創造了一個豐富而充實的精神文化世界。

to the hangers-on and outsiders, to bring their business to us. Marriage licences and small probates were what we all looked for, and what paid us best; and the competition for these ran very high indeed. Kidnappers and inveiglers were planted in all the avenues of entrance to the Commons, with instructions to do their utmost to cut off all persons in mourning, and all gentlemen with anything bashful in their appearance, and entice them to the offices in which their respective employers were interested; which instructions were so well observed, that I myself, before I was known by sight, was twice hustled into the premises of our principal opponent. The conflicting interests of these touting gentlemen being of a nature to irritate their feelings, personal collisions took place; and the Commons was even scandalized by our principal inveigler (who had formerly been in the wine trade, and afterwards in the sworn brokery line) walking about for some days with a black eye.
