What are the characteristics of houses in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River?

Architectural features in the south: Most towns in the south of the Yangtze River have small houses with blue-gray walls and blue-gray tiles on both sides, which are very quiet. Generally, people's houses enter from the door, with the patio at the door and the stone sink next to it, which is the place to wash clothes and vegetables. In front of it is a kitchen, which is very big and even includes a dining room. When you turn left, you will find a wooden staircase, and then go upstairs, where there are several bedrooms. From upstairs, you can overlook the patio downstairs, which is paved with bluestone slabs. Flowers bloom here in summer, and winter is a good place for children to have snowball fights. Of course, this is just a model, and each family will design the house according to its own characteristics.

The residential courtyards in the south of China are very small, and the surrounding houses are connected as a whole. Houses in the south mostly adopt bucket structure, and the combination of houses is more flexible.

In the south, the gable of the house is horsehead-shaped, and the buildings in the south are mostly white walls and tiles with elegant colors.

Rich people like houses connected with gardens, and gardens are gardens. Southern gardens can create a fairyland without a large space. Among them, there are no more than verandahs and leaky windows, but they can create scenery, borrow scenery and other famous places.
