What are the regional characteristics of Naxi folk houses?

Naxi nationality is a nation with open mind and good culture. It absorbs the advantages of the Han people's blue tiles and white walls, Bai people's door and window carvings, Tibetan wooden column paintings and other residential buildings, and integrates multi-ethnic cultural elements into one, forming a beautiful, unique, practical and unique ethnic residential architectural style. Lijiang area and the coastal areas of Jinsha River and Lancang River are suitable for climate, lush plants, and rich in wood resources and stone resources suitable for construction. Local products determine the choice of building materials and architectural styles.

Naxi dwellings are mainly made of wood, earth and stone, which can be made from local materials, fully embodying the characteristics of making the best use of everything, with distinctive regional characteristics and typical significance. According to the difference of geography, climate and materials, the choice of building materials for Naxi folk houses is also different. For example, the Naxi people who live in Lijiang Bazi, Jinsha River and Lancang River often use tile houses with wooden structures and rammed earth walls because there are more soil and less stones around them. The Naxi people who live in mountainous areas with dense forests can get materials when they go out, mainly in the form of dry "wooden shacks" or wooden structures, adobe houses, roof tiles or slabs; The Naxi people who live next to Tiger Leaping Gorge have steep mountains, cliffs everywhere and few trees and mud, so they build walls with stones, build roofs with slate or tiles, and even indoor furniture is mostly made of stones.

It can be seen that the natural environment has an impact on human survival and development, especially on the form of residential buildings. It is after summing up the long-term life experience that the Naxi people gradually formed a folk house form and lifestyle that adapted to the natural environment.
