What's the name of Tibetan dwellings?

The most representative Tibetan folk house is the diaofang.

Bunkers are mostly stone and wood structures, with dignified and steady appearance and simple and rough style; The outer wall shrinks upward, and if it is built on a mountain, the inner slope is still vertical. Typical Tibetan houses are made of earth and stone, which look like bunkers, commonly known as bunkers. Generally, there are two or three floors, and there are also four floors. Usually the ground floor is used as a barn, and the upper floor is used by people to store goods, and there are also halls. The plane layout retreats step by step, and the lower roof forms the upper terrace. The toilet is located on the upper floor and hung on the back wall. There is a hole in the ground of the toilet, and the feces can directly fall into the cesspit outside the cowshed on the bottom floor, thus avoiding the trouble of cleaning. If there are two floors of toilets, the upper and lower floors are staggered, so that the sewage on the upper floor can fall into the cesspit below unimpeded.

The bunker has the characteristics of firmness, tight structure and neat corners, which is not only beneficial to wind and cold protection, but also convenient to prevent the enemy from stealing.

Tents are very different from bunkers, which are a special architectural form adopted by Tibetans in pastoral areas to adapt to the mobile lifestyle of living on weeds.

Tibetan tents can be divided into winter tents and summer tents. A winter tent is woven from yak hair. First, it is woven into thick dark brown or black and white felt strips, and then it is sewn into a tent according to the required size. This kind of tent can adapt to the plateau rainstorm, heavy snow and cold climate. Different sizes, shapes are rectangle, square, hexagon and polygon. Support with a shelf or column. The indoor clear height is about 1.6-2m. Tie yak rope at the top of the tent, nail dike piles around it, and anchor them with wooden stakes or horns of cattle and sheep. There is a skylight at the top of the tent for ventilation, lighting and smoke exhaust, which can be sheltered in rainy days. Low walls are usually enclosed with turf or stones to keep out the cold.

Summer tent is a kind of light tent used by herders when they go out in summer. It is made of white canvas and Tibetan cloth, with squares and rectangles. Surrounded by dark, brown or blue edges. The tent is also decorated with exquisite auspicious eight treasures, Five Blessingg's birthday celebration, white clouds and lions, and six divisions in the wheel of karma. There are also large tents that can accommodate hundreds of people, including double-layer tents that are both heat-insulating and sun-proof. It has a strong religious decorative color. In the wilderness of green mountains and green waters, there are small white curtains and plumes of smoke, which are unique and have Tibetan cultural characteristics.

Ordinary financial offices are generally short, square or rectangular in plane, supported by wooden sticks, and the frame is about 2 meters high; Laying black yak carpet, leaving gaps about 15 cm wide and 1.5 m long for ventilation and lighting; Pull it left and right with yak rope and fix it on the ground; Around the inside of the tent, a low wall with a height of about 50 cm was built with grass mud blocks, adobe or pebbles, on which were piled highland barley, butter buns and dried cow dung? Used as fuel, the accounting room is simply furnished. There is a stove in the middle, and the Buddha is offered behind the stove. Sheepskin is laid around for sitting, lying and resting. The tent has the characteristics of simple structure, easy support, flexible disassembly and easy relocation.

The strong religious color is the most obvious sign that Tibetan dwellings are different from other ethnic dwellings.
