What are the differences between Chinese and American family buildings?

From the external form of family architecture, the traditional family architecture in China is mainly "closed". It is no exaggeration to say that the quadrangle-style family buildings in the northern rural areas of China have condensed thousands of years of traditional cultural elements, including the philosophy of the relationship between people and heaven. However, American family architecture is completely different. There are few fences around American family buildings, and there are no obstacles like fences. The front is full of big glass windows. It can be said that it is basically "open".

Inside the family building, the designs of China and the United States and the cultural concepts reflected by these designs are just the opposite. The United States pays attention to personal privacy, and children have their own rooms when they are very young, where children can give full play to their nature. The traditional rural family building in the north of China is "open" internally, with rooms lined up and interconnected. Because China people have always attached importance to "the difference between inside and outside" and regarded the people and things around "inside" as "one", parents should always look at everything at home.
