The style of Sichuan folk houses

Sichuan is hot in summer, with less snow, less wind and more rain in winter. Therefore, the tile roof, quadrangle head and big eaves of bungalows have become the main forms of folk houses. The attic has also become a place for storing and keeping warm.

Because it is a mountainous area, residential buildings in mountainous areas do not pay much attention to orientation, and the patio is shallow according to local conditions, saving land area. The roofs of quadrangles are connected together, which can shelter from the rain in rainy days and prevent strong sunlight from entering the room in summer. Moreover, the eaves and overhanging mountains of the house are very large, which can also prevent mud walls, wooden walls and pile-soil walls from being washed away by rain.

Most houses in Sichuan are barrel-shaped roof trusses. People here are good at using the terrain when building houses, adapting to local conditions and not sticking to one pattern. Often in the same house, there are several contours on the horizon. The cancellation of residential base is horizontal and vertical, which leads to the coordination of roof height. In addition, the eaves are generally not high, the green shadows are swaying, moist and pleasant, which makes people feel warm and lively. Houses in Chongqing and Dongshan District of Sichuan don't pay attention to orientation, but are built on cliffs. The diaojiao building is very prominent, and some floors are prominent, which is very verve and imposing. People in Sichuan folk houses don't have orthodox architectural concepts and don't talk about "houses". "wing room" and so on, with the slope on the ridge, with the curve on the fold. Because the function should meet the requirements of life, the layout of the main rooms is free, the utilization rate is high, and the internal relationship is very compact. There are often several outlines in the room, which are three feet higher than the main room. That room is a building, which changes greatly from top to bottom. From the outside, it is a small wooden box supported by bare bamboo poles or wooden sticks, which makes people shudder. Residents can enjoy themselves in it.
