Architectural Characteristics of Guizhou Tunbao

The residential structure of Tumbao is very characteristic, basically using small green tiles and whitewashed walls. Prof. Bao Shixing of Beijing Urban Science Research Association told the reporter that although Tumboldt still inherited the Huizhou architectural style brought by Han Chinese from the Jianghuai area, only the wooden structure was used in the inner room, and the architectural plan was mostly a courtyard type, adopting the plan layout of "three rooms and one wall". The outside of the house was made of heavy stones to protect it from foreign invasion, and the walls of the house were made of heavy stones. Take Bao Tun as an example, Bao Tun inside the narrow streets, twisting and turning, and according to the eight array layout, the enemy came in as if into the Vertigo Formation, the roofs of the houses here are very gentle, the top of the fish scales like the staggered covered with stone, the roofs of the houses are connected, usually residents can easily walk on the roofs of the houses. So that once there is an invasion of foreign enemies not only can the residents quickly climb on the roof, and can move freely, and the roof of the stone pieces thrown out is a very powerful weapon. In addition, the Tumbu area houses are very low door, which is very different from the traditional Huizhou architecture of the tall door. This is mainly to prevent large weapons from being carried into the house. Experts say, Tunbao building everywhere for the military need to do consideration, these designs constitute a multi-level defense system in Tun.
