“三间两厢一对合,前庭后院宽明堂”。先人对我们江淮一带的住宅有着明确而鲜活的写照。这些曾经活跃在人们生活中的住宅,早已随着历史的尘埃,没入了一座座古城的烟雨之中。但是那高耸的院墙、方正的天井,和灰白相间的砖瓦,给那些儿时嬉戏其间的人们烙下挥之不去的印象。这些住宅有一个有趣而形象的名字——“铜壳锁”。 “Three pairs of hatchbacks, vestibule backyard Kwong Mingtang”. Our ancestors had a clear and lively portrayal of our residence in the Jianghuai area. These dwellings, once active in people’s lives, have long since fallen into the misty rain of an ancient city with the dust of history. But the towering walls, the built-in patios, and the gray and white bricks cast a lingering impression on those who used to play with them. These dwellings have an interesting and visual name - “copper locks”.
