The difference between Luban window and Guangdong window

Luban window and Cantonese window are both window types in traditional Chinese architecture, but there are some differences.

1, Luban window: Luban window, also known as "sliding window", is a traditional window popular in the northern region, named after the famous craftsman Luban in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The characteristic of Luban window is that the sash can be pushed and pulled left and right or up and down, which is convenient for ventilation and lighting. It is often used in the window design of courtyards, gardens and houses. Luban window sashes are mostly made of wood and beautifully carved and decorated.

2. Cantonese-style window: Cantonese-style window, also known as "Cantonese-style window", is a traditional window popular in southern China (mainly Guangdong), with unique design and characteristics. The characteristics of wide-style windows are that the window sashes are mostly made of wood or wooden window cores, and there are many small holes in the upper part to keep the air circulating, and there are fixed wooden grilles or door panels in the lower part to ensure safety and privacy. The appearance of Guangdong-style windows is often exquisite and gorgeous, with rich carvings. Luban window is mainly popular in the northern region, with the design of push-pull opening, and the window sashes are mostly made of wood; Guangdong-style windows are mainly popular in southern China, with unique ventilation and privacy protection design. Most of the window sashes are made of wood, and their appearance is exquisite and gorgeous. These windows all reflect the unique charm and regional characteristics of traditional buildings in China.
