Architectural characteristics of Yao nationality

Most Yao people's houses living in deep mountains and dense forests adopt the herringbone shed architecture style. The roof truss is usually supported by Chinese fir strips, and the roof is covered with grass or Chinese fir bark, surrounded by small miscellaneous trees or bamboo pieces.

In the mountains, there is also a kind of' semi-cave dwelling', which is to dig a hole on the side of the mountain, build a house outside the hole with Chinese fir, and then cover it with Chinese fir skin. Live in a house during the day and sleep in a cave at night.

In mountainous areas with steep slopes, there are "suspended buildings", that is, half of the houses are built on the slopes, and the other half are suspended buildings according to the slope of the mountain. Most Yao people living in basins and hilly areas live in civil or mud-wood structures. Buildings are generally divided into houses and squatters.
