嗯,我见过。和你有一样的感觉。不过四合院的起源比石库门早很多。我看书上说,四合院元朝就有了。它之所以叫四合院,是因为房屋是由东西南北四面包围,呈口字形, 中间是花园。大片的四合院中间的通道叫胡同。唉,你知道石库门的起源吗?

Yes, I’ve seen those. I agree with you. Siheyuan have a much older origin than shikumen. According to a book that I read, they date back to the Yuan Dynasty. They got their name because the rooms are surrounded on four sides by walls, forming a square shape. The garden is in the center. The lanes running through blocks of siheyuan are called hutong. Do you know the origin of shikumen?
