清末民初，凤岗社会动荡不安，匪盗猖獗，宗族械斗频繁，客家移民在海外积累了一定资本后携款回乡，凤岗兴起建碉楼热，鼎盛时期的碉楼数量达160多座。抗日战争时期，碉堡式的凤岗碉楼成为了凤岗人的避难所，军事战略要地和红色革命摇篮，在凤岗人的抗日斗争中发挥了重要作用。但自上世纪五十年代始，凤岗政府对碉楼疏于保护，其建筑命运跌宕起伏，与凤岗华侨境遇的变迁紧密地联系在一起。当下凤岗碉楼面临产权限制、修缮资金费用高昂等困境，保护开发情况不容乐观。作为客侨文化的代表性建筑，凤岗碉楼的名称、用途及建筑艺术都具有深厚的文化内涵，艺术、历史和文化价值突出，在当前社会背景下与时俱进对其进行保护与开发极为迫切。

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the society of Fenggang was turbulent, bandits were rampant, and clan fighting was frequent. After Hakka immigrants accumulated a certain amount of capital overseas, they returned home with money. Fenggang rose to build Diaolou bulidings. The number of Fenggang Diaolou in the heyday reached more than 160. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the fortress-like Fenggang Diaolou became the refuge, military strategic place and red revolutionary cradle of the Fenggang people, and played an important role in the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, since the 1950s, the Fenggang government has neglected the protection of the Fenggang Diaolou, and the fate of its buildings has been ups and downs, which is closely related to the changes in the situation of overseas Chinese in Fenggang. At present, Fenggang Diaolou is facing difficulties such as property rights restrictions and high cost of repair funds, and the protection and development situation is not optimistic. As a representative building of Hakka culture, the name, purpose and architectural art of Fenggang Diaolou have profound cultural connotation, and its artistic, historical and cultural values are outstanding. It is extremely urgent to protect and develop it with the times in the current social background.
