What is the architectural style of Jurchen in the early Qing Dynasty, and what is the difference between it and the Han people in the Ming Dynasty?

Manchu dwellings in the early Qing Dynasty inherited the style of Jurchen dwellings in the Ming Dynasty, and it was recorded in Longshalue during the Kangxi period: "The houses face south and face the porch. The sun is still shining, so there must be a window in the west. There is North Xuan in the middle, golden in August, long summer. The house has no hall and opens to three rows. It is connected to the north and south soil beds in the west, and the word Kang is used. Xudong is a natural land, the west is respected, followed by the south, and all the guests are also. " [6] At this time, Manchu folk houses began to present a "three-cylinder" structure, with the door facing east and the door as an "outhouse" and kitchen. The heated kang in the house continued the structure of the curved kang of the Jurchen in the Ming Dynasty, which was expensive in the west and worshipped the ancestors.

During the Ming Dynasty, with the continuous southward migration and diaspora, some Jurchen tribes began to integrate with other ethnic groups, especially influenced by the Han nationality, and their architectural forms also changed. In terms of building materials, from relying solely on natural wood materials to the architectural style of brick and tile structure, brick and tile are widely used at this time. The indoor heating kang was changed from the south, west and north sides to three sides, and the heating mode was changed from the previous way of burning fire under the kang to the way of cooking stoves passing through the inner kang, and chimneys were used. In some areas, every household is fenced to form a yard, and a thick and solid wall is set outside the village for military, production and other fortress buildings. The gradual improvement of Nuzhen folk houses had an important influence on the formation and development of Manchu traditional folk houses in Qing Dynasty.
