What are the characteristics of folk houses in Gansu?

The main component of Gansu folk houses belongs to the quadrangle system, which has been the mainstream of the development of Han folk houses since the Han and Tang Dynasties. This architectural form fully embodies the Confucian cultural thought, fully embodies the needs of the feudal clan system, and greatly meets the living and living needs of large families. Dominated by the local traditional geomantic concept, the gate of the courtyard is located in the southeast corner of many courtyards, and the toilet is located in the southwest corner of the courtyard. The rainwater in the hospital is collected in the southwest and discharged outside the hospital. The courtyard doors are mostly in the form of curtilage doors. It is a way to turn the east side of the inverted seat into a doorway and open the door on the wall behind the inverted seat. Door frames and doors are solid and heavy, and their shapes are simple and simple.

There are two practical purposes to adopt this kind of door: first, there are many wars and bandits in Tianshui history; After the seat is reversed, the wall is very strong and high, and it is safe to open the door here. Second, the simple shape of the gate can hide others without making a fortune. In addition, there are some gates facing the gable, that is, the gate opens to the east Fangshan wall in the front yard, or the north gate opens to the west gable.
