What is low eaves?

"Low cornice" means that the overhangs on the roof of the house are shorter in length and lower in height. This architectural style usually appears in ancient buildings or traditional houses. Due to the limitation of ancient building materials and backward technology, low eaves are often used in the design to increase the stability and rain resistance of the roof. Therefore, the state of "low eaves" is only due to technical factors, and it has rarely appeared in modern buildings today.

"The eaves are low and small" also reflects an aesthetic concept of ancient society. Ancient architecture often pays attention to formal norms and symbolism of mysticism, so "low eaves" just meets the aesthetic standards of architecture at that time. It represents the superb skills of architects and owners, the profound connotation of yin and yang and the five elements, and also represents people's awe of nature and gods.

In modern society, "low eaves" has also become an important cultural symbol. It represents the value of China's cultural tradition and is an important heritage of China's traditional architecture. As an important part of China's traditional culture, low-eaves architecture will gradually highlight its architectural style and cultural connotation with the passage of time, and become an important source for people to think about ancient history and traditional wisdom.
