What's the difference between Kazakh yurts and yurts?

The biggest difference between Kazakh yurts and yurts is that the top of yurts is spherical, while the top of yurts is conical. Mongolian yurts are generally 3.3 to 5 meters high with a round top. When you cover a yurt, you will first draw the size of the yurt on the ground, and then build a frame with a wooden frame and an umbrella skeleton along the drawn circle. Then cover the top and sides with one or two layers of thick felt, and then tie them with ropes made of horse hair or camel hair. There will be one at the top? Skylight? , can play the role of smoke exhaust, ventilation and lighting.

Generally speaking, Kazakh yurts are much more complicated to build. It usually consists of a wall, a pillar, a top ring, a felt and a door. Kazakh yurts are generally about 3 meters high, and their frames are made of red willow wood. This kind of wood is very hard and is the basic material for making felt houses. The dome of the felt house consists of dozens of columns. After the roof truss is completed, blankets will be laid on the walls and top. After the yurt frame is completed, a colored fence will be set outside to make the yurt more beautiful and generous.

Let's talk about the difference between the two. The biggest difference between yurts and yurts is the shape of the roof. The dome is a yurt, and the pointed cone is a yurt. Moreover, yurts are generally smaller in size than yurts. In addition, the doors of Kazakh yurts generally face east, while the doors of Mongolian yurts generally face south.

Obviously, the yurt is easy to build, and it will be more convenient to disassemble and move, which can well meet the daily needs of herders. The same is true of the sack felt house, which is not only convenient to move, but also more durable and comfortable to live in, and also has the characteristics of cold, rain and earthquake prevention. They are the experience and technology summarized by Kazakh ancestors in their early nomadic life, and also better reflect the lofty wisdom of their ancestors in life.
