It is said that things are called differently in the north and south. What's your name?

Architectural features in the south: Most towns in the south of the Yangtze River have small houses with blue-gray walls and blue-gray tiles on both sides, which are very quiet. Generally, people's houses enter from the door, with the patio at the door and the stone sink next to it, which is the place to wash clothes and vegetables. In front of it is a kitchen, which is very big and even includes a dining room. When you turn left, you will find a wooden staircase, and then go upstairs, where there are several bedrooms. From upstairs, you can overlook the patio downstairs, which is paved with bluestone slabs. Flowers bloom here in summer, and winter is a good place for children to have snowball fights. Of course, this is just a model, and each family will design the house according to its own characteristics.

The residential courtyards in the south of China are very small, and the surrounding houses are connected as a whole. Houses in the south mostly adopt bucket structure, and the combination of houses is more flexible.

In the south, the gable of the house is horsehead-shaped, and the buildings in the south are mostly white walls and tiles with elegant colors.

South China is rich in water resources, and water flows through the front and back of the house. Water is also a kind of scenery. Rich people like houses connected with gardens, and gardens are gardens. Southern gardens can create a fairyland without a large space. Among them, there are no more than verandahs and leaky windows, but they can create scenery, borrow scenery and other famous places.

The characteristics of northern architecture: the northern dwellings are mainly quadrangles, and the layout is basically quadrangular. Take Beijing Siheyuan as an example, it is basically divided into gate, screen wall, hanging flower gate, courtyard, main room (facing south) and back building. There are wings on the east and west sides of the main house, and both the main house and the wing have wings. In the first courtyard just entering the gate, there is an inverted house (facing north), which is the general layout of the quadrangle of Beijing Standard Third Hospital. Houses in the north are basically quadrangles, just because of the geographical location.

I'm from the south, and the building in the south doesn't require much from the other side. There is a northerner in our dormitory who is sensitive to each other. I think many houses in the north are due south, so northerners have a stronger sense of orientation than southerners!
