What is the name of the traditional houses in the Loess Plateau?

The traditional houses on the Loess Plateau are called caves. In the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, there is a very thick loess layer, and local residents use their wisdom to dig holes to live, which also forms the current cave architecture. So the traditional houses in the Loess Plateau are caves. Cave dwellings can be divided into earth caves, stone caves, brick caves, earth caves, Liurafter Liubazi caves and interface caves. There are generally three types of caves: back caves, sinking caves and independent caves, which have a very strong China folk custom and local flavor. Among them, relying on caves is widely used. They are built on the hillside and the edge of the Loess Plateau. Generally, the cave is distributed along the mountain in a ladder shape. The top of the lower kiln is the upper vestibule, which has a very wide view, while the hollow is to dig a square pit on the ground and then dig a cave in the inner wall, thus forming a building similar to a quadrangle.
