Where is the bamboo building?
Bamboo houses are mainly distributed in the west and southwest of Yunnan Province. Bamboo architecture has a unique three-level building structure, and bamboo is only used as building materials in the construction process, without nailing or riveting. In order to adapt to the local wet and rainy natural environment where snakes, insects, ants and animals often haunt, the Dai people created the "drought fence" Dai bamboo house.
The lower floor of the bamboo building is generally used as a shed for cattle and horses, and the upper floor belongs to a residential area with a wide sloping roof. Dai bamboo building is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is moisture-proof and shockproof and deeply loved by Dai people. Although some newly-built bamboo buildings no longer use bamboo as the main building material, the houses in the village are still built with bamboo buildings.
The present situation of Dai bamboo building;
Bamboo is abundant in Dai area, and many houses are built with bamboo, with thick bamboo as the skeleton, bamboo strips as the wall, bamboo strips as the floor, and wood and grass as the roof, with a total of 24 main columns. In recent years, great changes have taken place in the bamboo buildings of the Dai family, most of which have been changed into wooden buildings or bamboo buildings, and thatched roofs have been changed into wooden roofs or tile roofs.
Now wooden railings should be installed around the palm room of Dai bamboo building. You can look at the path of the small garden by the railing. The building opens glass windows and hangs beautiful curtains, which makes the ancient bamboo building have modern colors and become interesting. Walking in Dai village, you can often see rows of tall cactus walls. Cactus covered with thorns may play a more effective role in protecting the family. In fact, the doors of Dai people are rarely locked.
