In terms of living customs, many big houses have built towers, turrets, bunkers and other facilities. Towers have also been built in southeast coastal villages and towns, or blasting holes have been added on the outer walls of residential buildings to prevent theft; Hakka people in Guangdong have developed large earth buildings with collective style. The emergence of these residential buildings is a customized measure based on the requirements of defense. In the late Qing Dynasty, Han people had a whole set of traditional ceremonies when building houses. Neighbor Zhong Yulong wrote in the Custom of Building Houses in Hangzhou in the Late Qing Dynasty: There are three customs when building houses: First, the orientation of the door. Some people in Hangzhou say that the door is crooked because of Feng Shui. Most doors are open on the left, called faucets, and the white tiger on the right is unlucky. On the balance beam. After the beam is put on, it must be hung on the middle beam with red cloth, and a plate of steamed bread must be thrown. If it is too high, it is the beam steamed bread.

Rice and tea must be put in a small bottle in the oven and buried with a dollar. Heshun's money was reconciliation or political money in the Song Dynasty and Shunzhi's money in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Han people always settled in their own homes, so their new houses were very particular when they were completed and moved. Moving, southern customs call it moving a house. In 2006, it was clearly written that the custom of moving in Hangzhou was like this: when moving, the first person to move in was a hair basket, with two small baskets in the middle, colored paper paste and hair storage, which were hung in the top corner or back room of the room.

When the whole family arrived at the new house, relatives and friends greeted them in advance and led them upstairs with lanterns and candles.

The development and evolution of folk customs in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China have two characteristics: First, the vast number of towns and villages are scattered in remote areas. Except for a few European-style church buildings, most of them are the continuation of traditional houses in China. The quadrangles in Beijing and the United States, caves in the northwest plateau, quadrangles in the south, and earthen houses in Hakka and the United States are all typical forms of China. Traditional houses. Compared with the early Qing dynasty, these residential buildings have not changed much, showing traditional characteristics. First, many new houses influenced by western architectural styles have appeared in some cities, showing the characteristics of westernization.

Compared with the past, the style and structure of this kind of buildings have not changed obviously, but they have deteriorated obviously due to the high building density and poor sanitary conditions. The changes of folk houses in the late Qing Dynasty are not only manifested in appearance, but more importantly, their architectural structure has undergone a breakthrough change. In the past, all the buildings in China were built with wooden bones and mud walls, with wooden frames as the main body. The wooden frame is very convenient to use and build, and the decoration basically does not affect the main structure. However, the wooden structure building has obvious shortcomings, such as flammability, low bearing capacity and difficulty in building high-rise buildings. In the case of dense population in modern cities, the new situation of building development to high-rise buildings is difficult to meet the needs. /kloc-After the middle of 0/9th century, brick-wood mixed structure buildings appeared. This kind of building overcomes the fact that the wooden frame can't develop higher. The technology of masonry load-bearing wall, wooden frame floor and herringbone wooden frame is adopted, which has simple technology and convenient materials, and is suitable for new factories, schools, shops and houses. The sixties and seventies of the late Qing Dynasty. Brick-wood mixed structure realized a revolution of the main building in the late Qing Dynasty, and introduced a series of architectural representatives such as Shanghai Jiang Customs in the 17th year of Guangxu and Beijing Hotel in the 26th year of Guangxu. During this period, high-grade apartments, garden houses and other houses mostly used brick-wood mixed structure. Western-style houses appeared as early as before the Opium War, and the Portuguese had already built western-style houses in Macao. In the eyes of China people, it is easy for foreigners to manage their own houses. The three floors are stacked on top of each other, embroidered with green windows and covered with treasures. Say Hangzhou. After the war, westerners established concessions at trading ports, which were also towering pavilions, clouds, cornices and painted buildings, and blue thresholds and bead curtains. WANG Tao: Speaking of Hangzhou, page 59, architectural history of China. Under the influence of western high-rise buildings, China people also began to build western-style or semi-western-style houses, showing a trend of imitating western-style houses. Deng Linze Ji Xu? The diary said: Gardens and pavilions in the late Qing Dynasty were also western-style buildings, and the capital was almost everywhere. In Tiandang, Xiaoyanglou gradually replaced the quadrangles in the north and became a new trend of local residential buildings. In Hankou, there are magnificent houses and many tall buildings. Xu huandou: roaming with records, p. 13, 19 15. There is also a new form of residential architecture called Lane. Many of these alleys are two-story buildings with straight and spacious passages in the middle, and the uniform landscape is in sharp contrast with the ancient alleys. In Shenyang, the architecture is magnificent, learning from the west, so the buildings are dense, the sky is high and the clouds are beautiful, stretching for dozens of miles, and heading for the world competition, 97 China Customs History. In Qingdao, most houses in the city are European-style buildings. Yuan Ronglao: Hankou Xiao Zhi? Business magazine, page 72.

At that time, the interior furnishings of villa buildings were also exquisite in style. Not only do hotels advertise that all electrical appliances are modeled after European and American styles, but people also use western-style furniture in their rooms. Once upon a time, Shanghai had nothing but elm utensils, porcelain bottles and copper pots, which made people feel very decent. Nowadays, the mahogany houses in Shanghai are very unusual.

There are more and more people using western-style furniture in Beijing, so that many western-style wooden furniture factories have been opened in various places since the Republic of China. Some wealthy families have western-style living rooms, all equipped with western-style furniture, which are specially used to receive foreigners or new people. With the improvement of building technology all over the world, more advanced steel reinforced concrete structures have emerged.

After the late Qing Dynasty, steel, cement, machine-made bricks and tiles, glass-ceramics and building hardware all became emerging and promising industries. At the same time, paying attention to architectural decoration is also an important feature of public buildings and houses in the late Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, many buildings were decorated with brick carvings, stone carvings, wooden ornaments, lacquer surfaces, terrazzo, mosaics, bronze ornaments, gypsum ornaments, aluminum alloy ornaments and so on.
