The quadrangle in Beijing is the most representative house in northern China. As a traditional residence in Beijing, quadrangles appeared in the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1271–1368). However, most of the existing quadrangles were built from the Qing Dynasty (A.D.1644–1911) to the 1930s.

The word "four" in the quadrangle represents the southeast, northwest and four sides; "Together" means surrounded. In other words, quadrangles are surrounded by houses or walls. The architectural layout inside, under the control of feudal patriarchal ethics, symmetrically arranged houses and courtyards according to the north-south central axis. Siheyuan is a general term. Due to the size and orientation of the building area, there are large quadrangles, small quadrangles and three-dimensional quadrangles in the spatial combination.

In quadrangles, windows are generally not opened except for the gate. Even if the window is opened, only the south house opens a small window at the height of the south wall for lighting. So as long as the gate is closed, a closed small environment will be formed in the yard. People living in quadrangles don't often associate with their neighbors. In the small courtyard, the family lived a different life. It can be said that the quadrangle is a peaceful and quiet nest found by Beijingers in the torrent of history and turbulent social situation. Generations of Beijingers have spent a long time in these countless quadrangles, large and small.

The Chinese nation has a civilization of 5,000 years, a vast territory and a long history. The natural and human environments are different in different places, so the diversity of China residential buildings is relatively rare in the history of world architecture. Jinzhong quadrangles have high walls and deep courtyards, which are profound and rich, while the houses in southern Anhui are elegant and simple, ethereal and handsome. There are also Zhejiang folk houses with white walls near the river, and the magnificent Tibetan bunker built with the trend ... Whether the northern folk houses are deep and heavy, or the southern folk houses are free and easy, they all contain the philosophy of "harmony between man and nature" that China people believe in in in the external romantic artistic conception, as well as the religious and ethical thoughts that emphasize the respect and inferiority, the order of the young and the old, the difference between men and women, and other religions at home and abroad.

Siheyuan, also known as Siheyuan, is a traditional quadrangle-style building of Han nationality. Its pattern is that a courtyard is surrounded by houses, usually consisting of a main room, an east-west wing room and an inverted-seat room, and the courtyard is surrounded in the middle from all sides, hence the name quadrangle. Since Beijing was formally established as the capital in Yuan Dynasty, quadrangles and palaces, office buildings, blocks and hutongs in Beijing have appeared at the same time. Xiong's Analysis at the end of Yuan Dynasty recorded: "The street system is called longitude line in the north and south, and latitude line in the east and west. The street is 24 steps wide, there are 384 fire lanes and 29 streets. " The so-called "street crossing" here is what we call hutongs and hutongs today. The land between hutongs is for people to build houses. At that time, Kublai Khan wrote to the residents of the old city that the capital was too old and the high (rich) position (serving in the imperial court) came first, so he customized eight acres of land and gave it to Jia, an official who moved to Beijing.
