Architectural culture in Thailand: The bamboo architecture in Thailand is a pillar-shaped building with a herringbone roof. Xishuangbanna has a tropical rain forest climate with heavy rainfall, and the herringbone roof is easy to drain, which will not cause water accumulation. Dai's bamboo buildings are generally two-story high-rise buildings. High-rise buildings are designed to prevent the ground from getting wet. The ground floor of the bamboo building is generally uninhabited and is a place for raising poultry. Upstairs is where people live. This floor is the center of the whole bamboo building. The interior layout is very simple, generally divided into two parts, a hall and a bedroom. The hall is located at the entrance of the wooden ladder, which is relatively open. There is a big bamboo mat in the middle, which is a place to entertain visitors and discuss things. There are balconies and corridors outside the hall. In the corridor of the balcony, there are Dai's favorite water tools, such as bamboo tubes and water tanks. There are also Dai women here. Generally, there is a fire pit in the hall, and a triangular bracket is placed on the fire pit to place cookers such as pots and kettles, which is the place for cooking. Walking from the main room is a bedroom separated by bamboo fences or wooden boards, and the bedroom floor is also covered with bamboo mats, which is a place for one big and one small to rest. The whole bamboo building is very spacious, with large space, few shelters and excellent ventilation conditions, which is very suitable for the humid and rainy climate in Banna. The beams, columns, walls and fittings of the whole bamboo building are made of bamboo, and each part of the bamboo building has different meanings. Walking into the bamboo house is like walking into the history and culture of the Dai family, and the owner of the Dai family will tell you its meaning one by one. The pillar of the bamboo roof beam is called "falling column", which is the most sacred pillar in the bamboo building. You can't lean on it and pile things up at will. It is a symbol of protecting bamboo buildings from disasters. When building new buildings, people often put leaves under the pillars. It is said that this will be more solid. In addition to the top beams and columns, there are also columns representing men and women in the bamboo building. The thick column in the middle of the bamboo building represents men, and the short column on the side represents women. The roof symbolizes the phoenix tail, and the corner symbolizes the wings of the egret.
The ancient city is regarded as the epitome of Thai traditional culture, ancient architecture and sculpture art, covering an area of more than 80 hectares, with 109 scenic spots, which is spectacular. In the scenic area, there are lush trees, birds and flowers, green waters and green mountains, dotted with scenic spots and elegant environment. Among these scenic spots, there are pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions, bridges, temples, towers, palaces and houses, as well as figures and animal statues; There are both Buddhist statues and realistic figures; There are both historical legends and fairy tales. Some of these scenic spots have directly moved the prototype of ancient buildings, some have been reconstructed by imitating the prototype and its environment, some have been reconstructed according to literature records when the original has been destroyed, and some have been reduced according to the original. What is commendable is that those things copied from historical sites are as old as before, but they can be confused.
