In the south, there will be a scene of small bridges and flowing water. What are the characteristics of buildings in the south?

Architectural Features of South China: Taking Jiangnan, Shanghai and Ethnic Minorities as Examples;

1, Jiangnan residential buildings are an important part of traditional residential buildings in China. Jiangsu and Zhejiang water towns pay attention to the front street and the back river, facing south and paying attention to internal lighting; Wood beam bearing, brick, stone, soil wall; Focusing on the main hall, he is good at carving beams and painting buildings, decorating roofs and cornices.

The overall layout of houses in the south of the Yangtze River is roughly the same as that of quadrangles in the north, but the layout is generally compact and the courtyard occupies a small area to adapt to the characteristics of high population density and less cultivated land.

Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, with developed economy and good living quality. Most of them are brick buildings with novel and elegant styles, and the architectural style fully shows the influence of humanistic factors.

3. Ganlan Bamboo House is the main living form of Dai, Wa, Miao, Jingpo, Hani, Bulang and other ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan. The climate in southern Yunnan is hot, humid and rainy, and the lower part of the bamboo building is overhead, which is used as a rice milling room, storage room and utility room to facilitate ventilation and moisture isolation. There is a wide corridor and terrace in front of the upstairs, followed by the hall and bedroom; The roof lies on the mountain, with steep slopes and far eaves, which can provide shade and rain protection.

Reasons for the formation of architectural features in southern China;

1, the southern region is dominated by tropical and subtropical monsoon climate, with high temperature and rainy summer and mild and little rain in winter. Among them, the tropical monsoon climate is hot all year round, divided into dry season and rainy season. The precipitation is above 800 mm, and there is more precipitation on the windward slope of the mountain.

Every May, the summer monsoon lands from the coast of South China, and the rainy season begins. In June and July, the summer monsoon forces strengthened and moved northward, forming a quasi-static front in Jianghuai, with continuous rainfall. Summer drought is easy to form in July and August. In September, the rainfall front moved south to this area, and the cold air force was further strengthened after 10, and the rainy season ended.

2. There are many lakes in the south, most of which are distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There are mainly Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake and Taihu Lake.
