In ancient times, Chinese people chose stones of different properties from nature and quarried, handled, processed and combined them according to their different characteristics. These stones formed the basis of traditional Chinese architecture.
Clay was also an important tool for building houses. The clever ancient Chinese used it to fire different wares, as well as bricks and tiles for building houses.
Traditional Chinese architecture is inseparable from wood, and the use of wood is also a major feature of traditional Chinese architecture. People cut down trees to get timbers, split them with sharp tools, and then recombine wood with mortise and tenon joints, all reflecting the wisdom of ancient Chinese.
When all the building materials are ready, the site is chosen and the house is built. In the process of building a house, different kinds of work together in an orderly manner. When the house is built, the allocation and use of the house also reflects the Chinese culture of "home".
