What are the taboos about the number of steps?

The steps of stairs should not only consider the height of the floor and the height of a single step, but also consider the good or bad luck of the steps. Generally speaking, the words "life, honor, death and despair" are the most important, and the word "life" or "honor" is the last step on the podium, avoiding the words "death" and "despair".

Generally, the number of stairs is about 13-20. If the length of stairs is too long, more steps need to be designed. If the stairs are too short, you need to design fewer steps. Everything depends on the actual situation. Judging from the auspicious figures, 13- 14 are all auspicious figures. As the saying goes, meaning lasts a lifetime.

How many steps are there in this staircase?

Are the stair steps odd or even?

It is normal to have "parity". The current building code requires many specific dimensions, such as stair tread height, and has a scope or lower limit. Generally, the height of steps shall not exceed 180mm, and the specific building types have their own requirements. In general architectural design, we should consider the appropriate range of building height and stair tread height, so as to determine the number of steps on each floor, which must be odd and even. Stairs are mostly two running ladders with a rest platform in the middle. If every stair is odd, then the upper and lower sections of the rest platform will be even and odd, usually one level apart.

Now in the countryside, whether it is a bungalow or a building, there will be stairs. The stairs of bungalows are generally built outside, which is an important way to the roof. The stairs of the building are built inside the house, which is the way to the second and third floors.

I remember living in an old house when I was a child. There are no stairs in the old house. I had to climb a wooden ladder when I went to hang things on the roof. Because the wooden ladder is exposed to wind and rain all the year round, it becomes very fragile. Every summer and autumn harvest, I have to dry food on the roof, which will make me sweat for adults. Later, the new house was built and there were solid lime stairs. I'll hang things on the roof, so I don't have to be afraid anymore. In recent years, more and more rural people have built buildings, and the stairs have been moved from outdoor to indoor. The material and shape of stairs are not single. In addition to the common lime boards, there are also direct casting and solid wood. Besides the common corner stairs, there are spiral stairs.
