The origin of the house

The house is the ancient people in order to shelter from the wind and rain, step by step from the evolution of the cave.

1, early

Primitive mankind in order to avoid the cold and rain, to prevent insects, snakes and beasts, living in caves or trees to prevent insects, snakes and beasts. This was called "cave dwelling" and "nesting" (nesting in trees). Through continuous evolution, ancient people began to build houses. Based on archaeological evidence.

2. Twisted Antiquity

With the development of human culture and technology, people began to build houses according to designs. As a result, wooden and stone houses, which were carefully carved and scientifically pieced together by people, as well as various forms of houses built from wood, stone and earth*** together appeared in large numbers until they developed into large-scale palace buildings and temple buildings.

3. The Great Modern Age

In essence, the modern home has undergone tremendous changes. Instead of relying solely on natural materials, people use artificial materials such as steel and cement, and pay more attention to the decoration of the inside and outside of the house. For example, tiles are put on the walls and even gold dust is applied to make the house look gilded. These buildings are far beyond ancient dwellings in both structure and appearance.

4. Beautiful Modern

Chinese people have a strong traditional concept of family. Modern residence is not only a shelter for people to live and work, but also a place for human production, scientific research, artistic creation and other modern civilization development.

Characteristics of the Chinese house:

1. The use of wood as the main building material creates a unique form of wooden structure, the skeleton, which meets the actual functional requirements and also creates beautiful architectural forms and corresponding architectural styles.

2. Maintain the principle of framing system. Columns and beams are combined into various forms of beam frames, so that the load of the upper building is transferred to the foundation through the beam frames and columns. Walls only play a closed and separated role, not load-bearing.

3, the creation of arch structure form. The arch is a transitional member between columns and beams, which gradually developed into an integral structural layer between the upper and lower column networks or between the column networks and the roof frame, a distinctive form of ancient Chinese wooden structure.
