Shanzhou Dikengyuan| Underground Siheyuan in northern China

| Underground Siheyuan in northern China. Underground Siheyuan·Shanzhou Dikengyuan I have long heard that Fujian Minxi Tulou and Henan Shanzhou Dikengyuan are the two architectural wonders of ancient people digging buildings on the loess, one in the south and one in the north. This time I finally have the opportunity to see the ancient and magical dwelling--Dikengyuan There is a very interesting saying about Dikengyuan: "See trees but not villages, see villages but not houses, hear voices but not people", this sentence perfectly interprets the characteristics of Dikengyuan, so Dikengyuan is also known as the underground Siheyuan in northern China" Tianjing kiln courtyard, commonly known as Dikengyuan, has existed for more than 4000 years, and there are still more than 100 underground villages distributed, among which the earlier courtyards have a history of more than 200 years and are inhabited by six generations. Living in Dikengyuan, warm in winter and cool in summer, is very comfortable. The various kiln caves in Dikengyuan are divided into main kiln, guest kiln, kitchen kiln, etc., and are called "Dongzhen House", "Xidui House", "Nanli House", "Beikan House" according to the different positions of the main kiln. Dikengyuan is also influenced by the traditional Chinese culture of Bagua, and the people determine the main direction of the courtyard according to the "feng shui flow". The construction of Dikengyuan is also very clever, with a lot of ingenuity, the kiln courtyard is the same, and it is also connected to the ground, I have to sigh, the wisdom of Chinese laborers!
