Why live in kilns on the Loess Plateau

This is related to the natural environment, climate, and history of the Loess Plateau. The kiln is an ancient form of residence for the inhabitants of the Loess Plateau in northwest China, and the history of this "cave-like" dwelling can be traced back to more than 4,000 years ago. The biggest feature of kiln construction is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, fireproof and noise-proof, and saves land and labor.

One, there is a great influence of the climate, especially cold in winter and hot in summer, but the kiln is the best warm in winter and cool in summer; two, the geological conditions, loess soil has a strong viscous. (easy to excavate, structural stability and can be maintained for a long time); Third, the local economic conditions are poor. Nowadays, people's living conditions have improved to a certain extent, and the housing there has basically changed to the form of urban buildings, but there are still a few people who still live there. To change this situation requires strong support from the state, because buying a house is all about money.
