Folk House Features-Stone Slab House
Slate house is a kind of building with stone as tile roof. In Linzhou, Henan Province, almost all men are masons. They chose layered rocks, drilled steel around the rock line and inserted iron bars, so they pried up a slate ten feet long, three feet wide and one inch thick. When building a house, the slate is hung on the roof, and finally a small slate is laid flat at the joint between the roof and the slate, and a slate house is completed.
Because this kind of slate slides fast, it will not store water, and beams, purlins, rafters and other wood will not rot due to moisture, so it is durable and can generally live for 200 years. In the famous shi ban cun, most villages are composed of stone houses, and all the stone houses are hidden among the green trees, which is really a must among Henan folk houses.
