The traditional house of the Hezhen people? The handful of Luozi?

Each ethnic group has its own traditional houses according to the local characteristics and different living environments. The culture of the Hezhen people has a very long history, and its houses are also combined with the characteristics of local fishing and hunting for a living, synthesizing the wisdom of the people of the ethnic groups, to establish their own ethnic characteristics of the living environment. Although people's living standards have improved, but the traditional culture has been preserved. Let's take a look at the traditional residence of the Hezhen ethnic group, "handful of Luozi".

The Hezhen people are the only people in the north who make a living by fishing, and they live in the basin of three rivers, Heilongjiang, Songhua and Ussuri, and have been engaged in fishing and hunting since ancient times. This mode of production is also expressed in their houses. Fishing for a living of the Hezhe people, generally will be built in the high places along the rivers, both easy to fish, but also to avoid the harm of river flooding.

"handful of Luozi", with simple materials such as wooden frame support for the "character house", on the ground and frame, built anywhere, outside the wooden frame put on the animal skin as a protective material, but also some people with grass roof, this "handful of Luozi", there is no external wall, but rather, the Hezhe people generally build houses high up along the river to facilitate fishing and to avoid the hazards of river flooding.

Inside the house on all sides with animal skins hung all over the wall, all the way to the roof, on the ground can be laid on several layers of felt and animal skins, which is not much different from the way primitive people live. Such a small house, in fact, from the external view, as straw woven, the uppermost part of the rope tied, tied deep fixed on it.

In the center of such a house you can make a fire to keep warm. Raise the fire with an iron shelf, supported by a disk, the fire on the shelf to cook meat or cooking on the shelf, which is similar to the Mongolian way of life in the yurt. However, the "handful of Luozi" room is much inferior compared with the yurt. This is a temporary building, mostly built on the waterfront, for the summer fishing residence, used up that is thrown away.
