Hakka architecture not only reflects an age-based hierarchy, but also makes clear distinctions between the sexes. In Hakka architecture, men are associated with the left (when you stand inside a room facing the main entrance) and women with the right, and these associations are reflected in both the interiors and exteriors of Hakka architecture.
男左、女右，在客家建築中，由裡往外看，舉凡左邊的都代表男性；右邊則代表女性，裡外皆然。
