What are the steps in the construction of diaojiao building?

1. Location of house: Generally, the foundation of house is selected in the open space suitable for building in or near the village, and the gate of house should face Shan Ye, not behind the mountain or in the ravine.

2. Foundation excavation: Foundation excavation after piling and marking.

3. Material selection and preparation: the selection of materials mainly focuses on the selection of wood. Chinese fir and bridge wood are the main materials.

4. Ink master: The so-called ink master refers to the commander-in-chief and chief designer of the whole diaojiao building.

5. Dismantling and drilling: Almost all wooden components can be prefabricated. Carpenters use saws, chisels and axes to process beams, columns, beams, plates, oak, purlins and tenons according to the carpenter's inking patterns. There are thousands of mortises and tenons on the columns, beams and beams needed by a house. Carpenters never use drawings, but only rely on Mo Dou, axe, chisel and saw to connect columns, beams and beams, which is the most technical type of work.

6, choose Baoliang: Miao family should choose root Baoliang when building a house, which is very particular. The erection of the house and the upper beam will be carried out on the same day. When the house is erected, first the left row, then the middle row, and finally the right row. After each two rows are erected, purlins should be installed, tenons should be connected and wooden nails should be nailed. Purlins and purlins should be installed in rows and firmly connected. "Climbing the chestnut" means pulling the cross beam to the top of two central columns for installation, forming the framework of the diaojiao building.

7. Building a house: On the same day as building a house, there is Shang Baoliang.

8. Cover tile: After the frame of the diaojiao building is erected, it is necessary to grasp the cover tile to prevent the impact of heavy rain, protect the safety of the building foundation and prevent the collapse of the building foundation.

Which nationality is the diaojiao building?

Diaojiaolou is a traditional residence of Miao, Zhuang, Buyi, Dong, Shui and Tujia. Diaojiaolou has many advantages. Hanging on the ground is ventilated and dry, which can prevent poisonous snakes and wild animals, and sundries can be placed under the floor. Diaojiaolou also has distinctive national characteristics. Elegant "silk eaves" and wide "walking columns" make the diaojiao building unique.

Diaojiaolou, also known as Diaolou. There are many diaojiao buildings in southeastern Chongqing, northwestern Guangxi, western Hunan, western Hubei and southeastern Guizhou. Diaojiaolou is mostly built by mountains and rivers, sitting in the shape of a tiger, with "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku and Later Xuanwu" as the best house field. Diaojiaolou is a dry fence-style building, but it is different from the general dry fence. Stilts are suspended, so the stilt building is called semi-stilt building.

Diaojiaolou embodies the consciousness of national culture and infinite wisdom in the field of architecture. Diaojiaolou is a typical building with nine columns and beams. The balcony is suspended and the pillars support the floor. The whole wooden building is like a person standing here with one foot hanging, hence the name "Diaojiaolou".
