Where do all ethnic groups like to live?

Diaojiaolou, also known as Diaolou, is a traditional residence of Miao people (Chongqing, Guizhou and other places). ), Zhuang, Buyi, Dong, Shui, Tujia and other ethnic groups. There are many diaojiao buildings in southeastern Chongqing, northwestern Guangxi, western Hunan, western Hubei and southeastern Guizhou. Diaojiaolou is built by mountains and rivers, and looks like a tiger. The best house is "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku, Later Xuanwu". Later, I paid attention to orientation, either sitting west facing east or sitting east facing west. Diaojiaolou is a dry fence-style building, but it is different from the general dry fence. Stilts are suspended, so the stilt building is called semi-stilt building.

Diaofang is a common residential building form in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southwest China and parts of Inner Mongolia. There is no proper name in the local area, and foreigners call it a bunker because it is built of earth or stone and looks like a bunker. Bunkers generally have 2 ~ 3 floors. Livestock are raised on the ground floor and people live upstairs. Living a nomadic life, Mongolian, Tibetan and other ethnic groups also have "felt tents" in their houses, which are movable tents that are convenient for loading, unloading and transportation. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, it existed before the sixth year of Ding Yuan in the Han Dynasty (A.D.11). This is a house built of rubble or mud, which is three or four stories high. Because it looks like a bunker, it is called a bunker. The name of the bunker can be traced back at least to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1736).

The felt tents that Mongols live in the northwest of China are called "Mongolian yurts", which are made of wooden branches and woven into an openable wooden fence as the skeleton of the wall. They are unfolded when used and closed when transported. The small felt tent is 4-6 meters in diameter, and there is no support inside. The big tent needs 2-4 pillars to support it. The floor of the felt tent is covered with a thick carpet with a skylight, and the fireplace and stove on the ground are facing the skylight. Mongolian yurts are typical tent houses in Inner Mongolia, and felt yurts are the most common. Due to the needs of nomadic life, herders in temperate grasslands of Inner Mongolia live in felt bags that are easy to disassemble and migrate. Mongolian herders traditionally live on aquatic plants and migrate four times a year, which are called "Chunwa, Xiagang, Qiu Ping and Dongyang". Therefore, yurts are the product of mobile grazing in grassland areas.
