What are the characteristics of Buyi architecture in Guizhou?

Buyi people like to live together by mountains and rivers. Generally, there are more than a dozen or dozens of households in a village, ranging from hundreds to hundreds. Buyi folk houses are similar to Dai bamboo houses, but the main structure is wood structure. There are "dry fence" buildings, bungalows and slate houses, the most distinctive of which is slate houses. Dry-rail three-bedroom and three-story bamboo and wood structure. No fence is built on the ground floor, and wood is used as a fence to close the livestock. The middle floor is made of phoenix bamboo and lives around. Sundries are piled upstairs. One side of the house has a balcony made of bamboo, which leads directly to the floor and can enjoy cool and dry things. Call it "diaojiao building".

Buyi people are used to living near water, and the village is surrounded by mountains and waters, surrounded by dense bamboo forests or geomantic trees. There are many fields in front of the village, surrounded by rivers and streams, surrounded by Liu Chengxing, which is a beautiful pastoral scenery. Many nationalities in this village share the same surname. Most people who live in Pingba have low-walled courtyards, while those who live in mountainous areas have their houses built on the mountain due to terrain restrictions. The buildings are superimposed, and some are built into "hanging houses". The first half is a building, and the second half is a bungalow, which is a continuation of the "dry fence building" in history. Buyi people living in different areas have different houses. From the shape point of view, there are column buildings, diaojiao buildings and bungalows; As far as materials are concerned, there are three kinds of houses: wood structure, wood-stone structure, civil structure and stone slab house. There are five now, but they must be odd. According to folk sayings, this singular number belongs to Yang, which means that people who live among the dead can live and work in peace and contentment from generation to generation.
