Does Korean housing construction have anything to do with geography?

Koreans like to choose places with sunny lee, mountains and water and elegant environment to build houses. It is recorded in the biography of Dongyi in the Old Tang Dynasty: "All live in the thatched cottage in the valley." "Biography of the New Tang Dynasty and Dongyi" also said: "Living in the valley, living in the grass." It shows that Koreans are very particular about site selection when building houses.

Houses in Korea are all in the shape of big roofs. The appearance of the roof ridge is flat in the middle and vertical at both ends. The middle is flat like a boat and the two ends are vertical like flying cranes. All the lines and surfaces that make up the big roof are gentle curves and surfaces, and the main contour lines such as the roof ridge are painted with thick white lines. Slow, steady and graceful curves and surfaces, as well as the large white outline outside the rafters, are the differences between Korean roofs and Korean roofs and Japanese roofs.

Doors and windows in traditional buildings, whether doors or windows, have criss-crossed fine wooden doors (windows) and window paper. I'm very picky about the shape of the window glass. There are many kinds of patterns, which are combined with long and short. Fiona Fang works hard and alternates density, striving to be neat, generous and pleasing to the eye.

Residential types are divided into tile houses and straw houses. Traditional tiles are decorated with rope patterns and auspicious words. Round or semi-circular lotus ridges, neat black ridges, towering roofs and snow-white walls give people a fresh, comfortable and neat aesthetic feeling.

Heating with kang is a remarkable feature of the internal structure of the room. The area of kang generally accounts for 2/3 of the total area of the house, and the house is divided into kitchen, guest room and small room. Because the room is full of kangs, you have to take off your shoes when you enter the room. In the past, the kang surface was woven with reed mats or sorghum stalks and millet stalks, but now it is changed into fiberboard, oilpaper board and artificial pattern leather, which is convenient to clean, beautiful and durable.

In interior decoration, Koreans love the totem of "10th birthday". "Ten Immortals" refer to immortal things such as sea, mountain, water, stone, cloud, pine, grass, turtle, crane and deer. These scenes often appear in the form of screens, picture frames, mirror paintings and colored pens. In recent years, the combination of interior space has noticed that lamps, furniture, colorful patterns on the ground, large-scale colorful murals, walls and keys are gilded, which makes the interior space have a distinctive national style.

Korean housing is unique. Generally, rural houses are built with wooden poles, covered with straw and tiles, and the roof has four inclined planes. Most houses in cities and towns are large brick houses with four inclined planes. With the improvement of farmers' living standards, many rural villages have emerged with blue bricks and big tile houses. The interior is paved with bricks and thin slate, which is generally divided into four rooms: bedroom, guest room, kitchen and warehouse. The kang surface is covered with wood fiber and brushed with Huang Liang oil, which is smooth and bright. The house was painted with white ash inside and outside, which made it look particularly neat and clean. When visiting a Korean family, you should take off your shoes and sit cross-legged on the kang according to the living habits of Koreans.
