Shaanxi's "Eight Great Bowls

The "Eight Bowls" of Shaanxi is a memory of the old Shaanxi people, who used to have a kind of living place called "Dikeng Yard", which is digging down above the flat bottom to build an open-air house under the ground, which is similar to the kiln of the Loess Plateau region.

There is a saying that "you can't see the trees, you can't see the village, you can't see the houses, you can't hear the voices, and you can't see the people", and now, the Dikeng Yuan has been listed on the National Cultural Heritage List. Old Shaanxi people usually plant a tree in the Dikeng yard, which is to prevent outsiders from the unfortunate fall.
