First, the unique regional style.

It is different from Beijing's expensive, northwest's hard, Lingnan's rich and Jiangnan's beautiful, and has its own simple and elegant style.

First of all, it is reflected in the openness and freedom of housing layout. The main form of residential building is quadrangle style, and the basic combination unit is quadrangle, which is a "four-in-one" residence composed of front, back and lower rooms. Facade and plane layout are flexible, and symmetry requirements are not very strict. There is often a ventilated patio in the courtyard or behind the house, forming a good "direct flow", connecting rooms with eaves galleries or colonnades, and skillfully forming neighborhood relations.

Secondly, this style is light and exquisite in architectural modeling.

In order to adapt to the hot and humid climate, most residential buildings are wooden structures with sloping roofs and thin eaves, which are open and transparent and comfortable in lighting. The beam-column section of the building is small, the external wall is half a pile high, and the indoor wooden floor is overhead.

Third, the western Sichuan folk houses are elegant in style and the architectural colors are simple and elegant.

The vegetation in the western Sichuan plain is good, and the seasons are evergreen, while the color of residential buildings is very simple, mostly cold. Tiles are blue, walls are pink (or gray bricks, beams and columns are brown, doors and windows are mostly brown (or the natural color of wood). Its key decorative part is the small gatehouse, commonly known as "Longmen (or doorway)", but it is still dominated by cool colors, often "carving without painting".

Second, integrate the environment.

Western Sichuan folk houses pay attention to the natural view and environmental view of "harmony between man and nature". The materials are adapted to local conditions, and the building materials are mainly wood, lime, blue bricks and blue tiles. Walls include brick walls, earth walls, stone (slate) walls, wooden walls (boards or logs) and woven walls. Small blue tile, grass, cereal grass, mountain grass, slate tile, bark tile, etc. Used for roofs; There are also beams and doorknobs made of green factory strips. These local materials are not only economical, but also very harmonious with the environment, which sets each other off and has a particularly strong local flavor. It presents the mutual beauty of texture and nature.

The environmental concept of "harmony between man and nature" introduces the surrounding environment into a closed small environment, forming a harmonious unity of people, houses and environment.

Third, the family is strong.

People in western Sichuan pay attention to etiquette, like parties and entertainment, and pay attention to interpersonal communication, so the leading teahouse culture at home and abroad is prosperous. This feature is also highlighted in the way of living and neighborhood relations, and there is an idyllic poetry.

This kind of affection is also manifested in the architecture of folk houses in western Sichuan. For example, patios and wide eaves in large and small courtyards, as well as eaves galleries outside houses or shops along the street, have created a relatively clear "public space" for residents to enjoy the coolness of their families, women's handicrafts, children's games, tea and chess, and receive visitors, so that neighbors can fully communicate and talk, and people in Sichuan feel that "distant relatives are not as close as neighbors".

Fourth, strong compatibility.

Sichuan is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural area. According to relevant historical data, a large number of immigrants have entered Sichuan several times. Therefore, the folk culture in western Sichuan is also an integrated culture with strong compatibility, and many of its characteristics are the result of eclecticism on the basis of non-exclusion. It has not lost its tradition by absorbing foreign culture, but has formed an independent cultural system suitable for local natural and economic conditions in the process of compatibility with advanced cultural factors.
