As long as you walk into the Tujia cottage, you can see the diaojiao building, a typical building where Tujia people live together. Tujia Diaojiaolou is the perfect combination of Tujia people and nature.
Tujia folk houses are unique in modeling and exquisite in decoration, and have high artistic and aesthetic value. The custom of building a diaojiao building generally includes six links: watching geomantic omen, digging the foundation of the house, planting trees, erecting the house, putting beams on it and completing the hot fire pit. It embodies Tujia's unique view of nature and ubiquitous deification, and forms Tujia's unique life culture. It is the concrete crystallization of the wisdom of Tujia people in Wuling mountain area in the process of adapting to the natural environment and transforming this nature for a long time, and it has very rich cultural connotation. It is the most concrete and artistic embodiment of China's traditional cultural spirit on Tujia people.
The form of diaojiao building can be roughly divided into three types: single-headed crane, double-headed crane and quadrangle: single-headed crane is the most common one, also called key head. It is to make one or several horizontal houses at both ends of the main house and extend the suspended overhead floor according to the terrain. Double-headed crane, also known as double-headed crane. It is the development of single-head crane, that is, the two ends of the main house are hung on the diaojiao building according to the terrain. One-headed cranes and two-headed cranes are common in Tujia architecture. Another kind of quadrangle, also known as the four-in-one water type, is an upgraded essence of Tujia architecture. This kind is usually built by a big family or family members. It is developed on the basis of the double-headed crane, and its characteristic is to connect the upper parts of the diaojiao building at both ends of the main house into a whole, and then build a double-layer diaojiao building symmetrical to the main house in the double-headed diaojiao building, thus forming a quadrangle. But the hall is still in the middle of the main room, and the hanging building outside is equipped with a gate, and you can enter the quadrangle in a few steps. These three kinds of hanging buildings include two-story hanging buildings and three-story hanging buildings. These diaojiao buildings are all built on stepped terrain, with one floor in the main house and two floors in the diaojiao building; The main building has two floors and the hanging building has three floors. However, there are also diaojiao buildings hanging on the ground, but this kind of less is correspondingly less beautiful.
Tujia Diaojiao Building is a wonderful flower in the architectural history of China, with various forms, extremely beautiful shapes and high artistic value and aesthetic taste. Diaojiaolou first brings people a unique formal beauty. Macroscopically, the diaojiao building is a combination of rectangle, triangle and trapezoid. These geometric shapes give people a sense of solemnity visually, showing a tall and strong aesthetic feeling. But its internal frame, beams, columns, purlins and purlins are perpendicular to each other. The formation of these plates is handled by overhead, cantilever and staggered floors, giving people a dignified and perfect vision and a lively, clean and tidy feeling. From the microscopic point of view, the pillars of those carved beams and painted buildings and the roofs with cornices and walls give people a sense of beauty outside the fairyland; In particular, the cornices are upturned, which makes people feel like flying. The diaojiao building as a whole embodies a distinct sense of rhythm and flowing beauty, and embodies the spiritual pursuit of Tujia people and the ultimate harmonious beauty of the natural environment in Wuling Mountain area from the architectural concept. The architectural concept of harmony between man and nature is the concept of diaojiao building. Landscape and diaojiao building blend into a whole landscape, so the mountains, water and houses are beautiful. The wisdom of Tujia people is integrated with the landscape.
The beauty of diaojiao building makes this cultural landscape have high artistic value and cultural value. Diaojiaolou, as the carrier of Tujia material and spirit, shows the world its development history, the wisdom and belief of this nation, and its self-interpretation of beauty.
Sitting on the diaojiao building near the mountain and the water, listening to the pines, bathing in the mountain breeze, overlooking the mountains, overlooking the bridges and flowing water, and being in this green mountain and green water, you will feel that this is the best place. Or stay in the forest in the mountains, watching the diaojiao building spread its wings and fly, the eaves lying in the embrace of nature harmoniously, watching the beams of small buildings cross, pavilions and pavilions hang in the air, the eaves rise, the blue tiles and carved railings set each other off, and IELTS flies to the extreme. This kind of scenery, such as "small bridges and flowing water" and "people in the depths of white clouds", which is only available in Tang poetry and Song poetry, really appeared in Tujia cottages.
Dragon Diaojiaolou, gurgling brook. Rude Tujia men and provocative Tujia girls decorate the quiet hut with vivid charm and beauty. Under the eaves, strings of fiery red peppers and golden corn sparkled in the sun. Tujia boys planted all kinds of fruit trees around the diaojiao building, and Tujia girls raised flowers and plants in front of the building. Look at the fruitful scenery, blooming flowers, houses hidden among flowers and trees, and people walking among flowers and trees. It's a fairyland on earth Even in the hot summer, when I was on the diaojiao building and the cool breeze was blowing gently, Liangsi had a rest. During the slack season, amorous Tujia girls dressed in bright national costumes, in groups of three or five, sit around the diaojiao building together, or make cloth shoes, or knit sweaters for lovers, and bursts of laughter ripple with the wind. If there are distinguished guests from afar, they will also dance happily, release their youth and beauty to the fullest, and show the elegance of architecture and the beauty of mountains. At dusk, Tujia men who worked all day had a leisurely dinner, took a good bath, and then sang love songs in the diaojiao building. The burning emotion and unadorned innocence make people seem to have entered a paradise.
After coming back from the city, I can't help feeling a little nostalgic. Although Tujia diaojiao building has nothing to do with the fashion of the city, you don't have the imposing manner of skyscrapers and the luxury of foreign small buildings, but the beauty revealed in your vicissitudes is always so awe-inspiring! It is like a father's solid arm, sheltering Tujia children from the wind and rain; Like a mother's warm embrace, to resist the cold for Tujia children. If the high-rise buildings in the city are cultured, the quaint Tujia diaojiao building is Xiaojiabiyu. For thousands of years, the beauty of Tujia's diaojiao building is like "conceived in an inner room, and no one knows her", which is unknown to outsiders. But you are like a thousand-year-old wine, a treasure of calligraphy and priceless jade. With your graceful posture, dignified temperament, simple appearance and exquisite structure, you will be fascinated by your beautiful posture and this magical scenery, leaving a deep impression. I was drunk and hung from the building, and I was forbidden to sing a beautiful hymn for you:
Tujia Diaojiao Building near the mountain and water.
Landscape architecture is integrated.
There is luxury in solemnity and beauty in simplicity.
Xiu Zhu on a mountain.
a bunch of flowers
piddling stream
This building is traveling in a painting world.
Qing hei Lao wa
Cornice angle
Carving beams and painting buildings-ornate buildings
Fascinate my heart.
Millennium history
Vicissitudes Wuling
Diaolou in the mountains
Prosperity is immortal.
Denglou
Watching geese fly thousands of miles in the clouds.
My head is far from the sky.
Near the water and near the mountain.
Look at the white clouds.
Dangerous house
It's a pity that no one has walked over the cliff.
Fear comes from the heart
No one was there.
But here we are.
The green hills are full of peace.
The stream wandered with wrinkled clear water.
Climb the stairs to see the wonders.
Beautiful scenery.
Stay in the diaojiao building for one night
Ten-year dream
All I know is that I have never seen a fairy.
It was because of me that he was scared away.
