This paper analyzes several cases of traditional houses in China, and illustrates the adaptability of buildings to climate in different climatic zones.

(1) Bamboo House in Yunnan-hot and humid climate;

(2) The roofs of houses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are steep-the annual precipitation here is large, which is beneficial to rainwater drainage;

(3) The roof in Northwest China is flat-the climate is dry, and there is no need for drainage;

(4) The caves in the Loess Plateau-warm in winter and cool in summer, are suitable for the high temperature all year round; Dry climate, few forests and lack of wood;

(5) Houses in the northeast have thick walls and small windows-the climate in the northeast is cold, so they can keep warm.
