When the tile on the roof was fired, it was originally black (blue-black), but it was only after long-term rain immersion that it grew thin moss (because the tile itself was fired with clay and contained organic matter), so it was black. Black and white are two colors, corresponding to hot summer (low latitude and strong light). In order to give people an elegant and refreshing feeling, black and white are used.
The relationship between the characteristics of this residence and the climate is:
1, low latitude, strong light, reflecting sunlight, so it is a white wall.
2. Plenty of precipitation makes a layer of moss grow on the tiles, which turns the color black.
Most of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River are bucket-type wooden frames, not beams, which are directly supported by columns, surrounded by thin bucket walls or bamboo plastering walls, and the walls are mostly white plastered.
The roof structure is also thinner than the houses in the north. Slate is often laid at the bottom of the wall, and slate is also laid on the indoor ground to prevent moisture. The interior of the hall is freely separated by traditional covers, wooden fans and screen doors for different purposes.
The south is full of flowers all year round, and the environment is colorful. The exterior walls of residential buildings are mostly white, which is conducive to reflecting sunlight. White walls and tiles are used in the south, and the color of the house is elegant, especially in summer, which gives people a refreshing and pleasant feeling.
