Chinese Residential Building

——Wu’an Residential Building

There is an old saying in Wu’an—every village has a pavilion, a village is not made without a pavilion.” As the “pavilion” of Wu’an village residences and symbolic buildings, ordinary villages generally have 2 to 4 pavilions, and some large villages have 30 to 40 pavilions. The pavilion of Wu’an is not only a fortress defending the invasion of foreign enemies, but also a symbol of the village. At the same time it is also a temple praying for god's blessing. More than 1,000 Wu'an Pavilions spread across the land of Wu'an solidify Wu'an's history and culture. (Wu’an: The city in Hebei Province, China)

Wu'an, located at the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan, and the eastern Tai-hang Mountain, surrounded by mountains in the territory, has historically suffered frequent military disasters and bandits, and the people have been deeply affected by it. For the sake of safety, this characteristic of defense is reflected everywhere in residential buildings: high house bases, high door towers, and houses that do not open windows to the outside, forming high walls, flat roofs with flower walls (parapet walls), and corner tower, with individual underpasses , Clip walls, gun holes and the like, forming a relatively closed fortress.

Numerous "Pavilions" in Wu'an have formed different architectural styles due to their long history, different eras, different environments and different architectural purposes. The "Pavilion" in Wu'an condenses the culture of a region and several eras.

The building of Wu'an's pavilion mainly built with clay roof tiles. Luoyang Dannuo Gardens & Building Material Co., Ltd. is the manufacturer to produce the roof tiles, such as Chinese clay roof tiles, Japanese roof tiles, glazed roof tiles, porcelain roof tiles, wood gazebo, clay brick wall decoration etc. If you need it, please feel free to contact us.
