Tujia folk houses with unique architectural characteristics of Tujia nationality

Most Turks live in mountainous areas, and only a few people live in Sichuan and waters with good natural conditions. In the early days of Turkish society, natural villages belonged to the same clan. They have the same borders, the same pastures and the same social affairs. With the development of society, people frequently move from one place to another, and many single local natural villages are destroyed, forming many villages with mixed surnames.

Tu's architectural culture is outstanding and unique. The countryside is usually composed of villages, most of which are built at the foot of the mountain and near the water. Every family has its own courtyard. Entering the gate, the yard is square. The wall of the yard is quite high, divided into two floors. The lower part consists of earth embryos. Coated with clay, clean and beautiful. Some people also use white pebbles to set various patterns on the walls, and put white big stones on the walls at the four corners of the courtyard walls. There is a ring groove in the middle of the yard for tying animals. There is a tall wooden pole in the middle of the groove, and there is a prayer flag made of cloth with scriptures printed on it. The prayer flags show that the Turkish people believe in Tibetan Buddhism. They believe that planting prayer flags can drive away evil spirits, eliminate disasters and protect the whole family for a safe and auspicious year. Nowadays, many people turn circular sinks into flower beds and plant peony, peony, dahlia and other flowers. During the flowering period, the small yard is full of fragrance and bees are flying, which is very interesting in life. Small bungalows of Turkish family civil structure are assembled into quadrilateral. The room is just north of the courtyard gate, with wing rooms in the east and west and corner rooms in the four corners.

There are three main rooms, separated by boards. In the middle is a main room. In front is a wooden cabinet painted red, which contains sacred cards and offerings. On the left is the bedroom, with brazier and kang table. Generally speaking, this guy's father lives in. On the right is the storage room. The east-west house and Westinghouse are children's homes, and the corner houses are used for kitchens, warehouses, toilets, animal pens and so on.

Most of the beams, doors and windows of houses are carved with exquisite color patterns, depicting all kinds of flowers, birds, fish and insects, symbolizing the health of cattle and sheep and the bumper harvest of grains. They are bright and beautiful. Every family will have a long wooden ladder, and people can climb the roof anytime and anywhere. You can see a panoramic view of the whole village.
