What are the architectural styles of houses in Shaanxi?

In all parts of Shaanxi, houses are different because of different geographical location, climate and living habits. "Half-roofed house", one of the "Ten Monsters in Shaanxi", mainly refers to the traditional architectural form in the rural areas of western Guanzhong.

This kind of house looks like a "row" from the side, which is exactly half of the double-sided house.

Generally speaking, the back wall of a house is five or six meters high and the eaves wall is three meters high. When it rains, the rain flows to one side. This kind of house built on one side is called "Xiafang".

The main reason is that this kind of house does not use beams and columns, but saves wood. At the same time, small area also saves labor. In addition, the wall is "Hu Ji", which is convenient to obtain materials. In this form of quadrangle, rainwater flows into the courtyard, which is euphemistically called "Feng Shui does not flow out".
