Gable, Rolling dragon wall, Phoenix wall; Dabie Mountain Agricultural Culture Museum.

To explore the inheritance path of regional architectural elements in modern museums, this paper takes the Dabie Mountain Agricultural Culture Museum as the research object to study the application design of walls in traditional residences in eastern Hubei. Through field research and comparative analysis, the paper elucidates the structural and decorative features of fire-sealed walls such as rolling dragon walls and phoenix walls, and explores the transformation strategies from outdoor to indoor settings. The results show that through the substitution of new materials and functional replacement, the regional cultural atmosphere has been successfully recreated indoors. The conclusion is that this design not only effectively revitalizes the architectural heritage of eastern Hubei but also enhances the perception of agricultural culture through narrative spaces, providing a demonstration for the construction of rural museums.
