Aerial shot of the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, surrounded by cliffs. How are the houses here built?
In fact, the principle of building these houses is also very simple. It is to dig some holes on the cliff, insert some pillars that bear the overall weight of the house, and then build the house on these pillars. Since most of these houses are made of wood, their weight is not very large. This kind of pillar can fully bear its weight. At the same time, they will also insert a pillar vertically at the end of the pillar to form a frame. structure.
This also reflects that the wisdom of the people living in these places can build unique houses according to local conditions. This was also to adapt to the hilly and mountainous terrain of those places at that time. At the same time, this kind of construction also had many benefits. It could prevent the harm to the human body caused by the damp and cold weather in these places, and it could also isolate some poisonous insects and beasts. However, it is precisely because of their architectural wisdom that these buildings have now become a beautiful landscape, attracting many tourists.
As a Taoist holy land, Mount Emei has always attracted a lot of tourists, and these houses built on the cliffs have also become the focus of people's attention. In that era when there was a lack of heavy machinery, it was very difficult to build such a house. The final completion was entirely dependent on the wisdom of the working people, which also made the building itself rich in more humanistic value.
This kind of house can not only stand on the cliffs and survive for hundreds of years, but can also become a tourist attraction for tourists today. It really makes us admire the whimsical ideas of these builders. and wisdom. I hope these houses in Emeishan can be better protected and publicized.
