Introduction of Shaanxi folk houses

Shaanxi folk houses refer to the traditional folk houses of Han nationality in Shaanxi Province. The forms of folk houses in Guanzhong, southern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi are quite different.

Generally, the caves in the First Hospital are built with 3 holes or 5 holes, with the middle kiln as the main kiln, some divided into front and rear kilns, and some with 1 and 3 openings. From the outside, the four holes need to be opened separately. If you go inside, you can find that they have tunnel-type small doors with semicircular tops, so the space of the caves will increase. The cave walls are generally painted with lime, which looks dazzling, dry and bright.
