What are the characteristics of Tajik dwellings?

1, Tajik herdsmen have fixed houses, generally square flat-roofed houses with civil structures. The roof is often used as a terrace, slightly higher in the middle and slightly lower at the four sides, so that rain and snow can flow down. Due to the cold and snowy climate in the plateau, the residential buildings are low, with no windows on the external walls, and some only open small high windows with skylights on the roofs. Most doors open in the east and south near the corner.

2. Tajik families often live under the same roof for three or four generations, with a population of more than ten or even dozens. Generally, houses are relatively spacious. The main living room of Tajik dwellings is "Puyi Pavilion", which is a big room for family reunion at ordinary times and also a place for receiving guests and holding weddings, funerals and celebrations. "Puyi Pavilion" is generally a big room with a width of 7 meters and a length of about 9 meters. It has a door in one corner, a kang on three sides, and blankets and bedding piled on the wall during the day. There is a cooker in the middle of one side, and several cookers can be set in the same position. The skylight is used for lighting, ventilation and smoke exhaust. Leave a floor of about 3 square meters in the middle of the house as a place to sing and dance during the festival. The two sides of the cooker are separated from the big room by walls, and there is an operation room inside, and a suite is set as a warehouse to store food such as grain, oil, meat and dried fruits. The whole family lives in "Puyi Pavilion", and the left hand is the elder from the door, taking turns to sleep. The furnishings in the house are relatively simple, and some are decorated with murals. Use a stove to keep warm in winter. On the "Puyi Pavilion" side, there are generally 1-3 guest rooms, with tables, chairs, stools, wardrobes and other furniture.
