Xinduqiao town

Xinduqiao is about 3300 meters above sea level, with no prominent landmark landscape, but there are more than 10 kilometers along the line, known as the "photographer corridor". Located at the fork of the South and north of national highway 318, it is a picturesque paradise. Magic light, boundless grassland, winding streams, golden poplars, rolling mountains, Tibetan villages scattered among them, cattle and sheep eating grass peacefully, the plain scenery of Western Sichuan is blooming.

The Tibetan dwellings in Xinduqiao are very characteristic. They have a very spacious courtyard with white walls and red lacquer gates. Most of the houses are built of stone. They live in the morning sun and have excellent lighting. There are three or four windows on each wall of each building. The eaves of the windows are painted with red, black and white colors. The sun, moon or triangle patterns symbolize the prosperity of people and the abundance of grain. Occasionally, magpies can be seen flying and jumping in front of the house, by the stream and on the grass.

Because there are no scenic spots in Xinduqiao, the beautiful scenery is on the road, especially the section from zhedo mountain to Xinduqiao and the section from Xinduqiao to Tagong. Therefore, it is suggested to charter a car for self-help tour of Xinduqiao and park it at any time.

Characteristics of folk houses

Xinduqiao Town, located in the west of Kangding County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is an important hub of Sichuan Tibet transportation. With the progress of society and the development of economy, the local way of life and production has changed under the influence of "mixed living culture". The local Tibetan dwellings have changed from living type, functional layout, plane shape and other aspects, and finally formed the original architecture with the characteristics of the times. This evolution process reflects the growth track of local dwellings in the process of urbanization in Sichuan Tibetan areas.

From Kangding to the west, zhedoshan is a traditional dividing line between Tibetan and Han. From the east to the west, the architectural style of Han style or Han Tibetan mixed style is gradually weakening, while the simple pure Tibetan style is becoming more and more distinct and unique. From the perspective of ethnology, Sichuan Tibet line is a corridor of ethnic integration and multi-cultural integration, and architecture is the inherent group living symbol in this area. Lin Junhua, an architect, said: all kinds of cultures on the Sichuan Tibet line are atypical original cultures formed under the influence of various cultures. Some people call them "mixed culture" or "mixed culture". Xinduqiao is the first stop from "outside the pass" to "inside the pass" after crossing many mountains. The real Kangba Tibetans begin here, and it is also an important exhibition area for the Muya dwellings of Kangba Tibetans.

The Tibetan dwellings in Xinduqiao are very characteristic. They have a very spacious courtyard with white walls and red lacquer gates. Most of the houses are built of stone. They live in the morning sun and have excellent lighting. There are three or four windows on each wall of each building. The eaves of the windows are painted with red, black and white colors. The sun, moon or triangle patterns symbolize the prosperity of people and the abundance of grain.

Tile shed or slate shed

In the early period, tile shed and stone shed were the main forms of Tibetan houses in Xinduqiao town. Tile shed or slate shed is a simple house built with tile or slate as roofing material. The building structure is divided into two types, one is beam lifting type, first the wall is built with stones, leaving door and window openings, and then the beams and rafters are erected on the wall to cover tile or slate; the other is to make a simple wooden frame through the bucket, and then masonry with stones. Because of the heavy weight of tile and slate, it can not be directly built on the wooden frame, and the stone wall is required to bear the load. Since the yingguan District Office was moved from yingguan village to Xinduqiao town in 1957, the business department, bank business office, grain station, cultural and popular science exhibition, etc. have gradually improved, people's living standards have also been improved day by day, and the ability of tile shed to shelter from wind and rain is poor, which can not meet the needs of people's life, so it gradually disappeared in the history of Tibetan development.

Traditional blockhouse

Since the establishment of Xinduqiao town in 1992, the construction of Xinduqiao town has developed rapidly, and blockhouse has quickly become the main form of Tibetan residence in the local area, and the settlements are linear distributed along both sides of Sichuan Tibet highway. Most of them have two or three floors, and most of them are traditional Muya Tibetan houses.

1) Building structure: Muya residential buildings are mainly stone wood structures, and the structural system composed of beams, columns and purlins supports the whole building floor and indoor load. And its internal and external walls also bear the weight of the building itself and the interior of the room. In addition, due to the local pine, cypress, fir, birch, poplar and other large trees are relatively rich, some building walls also use the "collapse" structure, that is, the well dry wall. It can be inferred that the main structural system of Tibetan residence in Xinduqiao town is composed of columns, girders, purlins and internal and external walls.

2) Building structure beam and column: there is a substitute wood at the intersection of beam head and column head, which has two directions. The left and right beam heads are butted and placed on the substitute wood, and the column stands directly below the connection of the two beams; the other is that the beams are parallel and staggered, the substitute wood is perpendicular to the direction of the beam, and the beam head extends out a little from both sides of the substitute wood. The other end of the beam falls directly on the stone wall, which basically adopts the structural form of two beams sandwiched with one beam, and is arranged downward according to the Bay, so there are different situations of one beam or two beams falling on the wall. In addition, in order to prevent the movement of beam column joint or the sliding of beam head, the wood tenon is made at the place where the column head, beam head and substitute wood contact. Wall: the wall masonry of Xinduqiao Tibetan residence adopts stone wall masonry and wood wall masonry. Stone wall masonry: there are generally two kinds of stone, namely rubble and block stone. In the early period of masonry, a layer of regular block stone was used to fold a layer of rubble (or all block stones) and then soil was used to fill the joints. In recent years, the walls of new blockhouses were cut rectangular block stones, which were stacked regularly and filled with cement. In the process of masonry, in order to improve the bearing capacity of the wall, the usual method of hiding is to increase the thickness of the corner, and the outer wall is divided upward layer by layer, which not only strengthens the centripetality of the structure, but also reduces the load of the upper layer, and better ensures the stability of the structure. Wood wall masonry: the most commonly used wood wall masonry in Xinduqiao Tibetan residence is the "collapse" structure. The two ends of the semicircle wood are overlapped to form a whole, and holes are directly dug on the wall to be used as doors and windows. This kind of wood wall usually appears in the gap of the top floor of the building. Roof and floor: there are two kinds of roofs in Xinduqiao Tibetan Residence: flat roof and sloping roof. The construction of flat roof is made of clay, gravel and branches. When the masonry wall reaches one floor, the columns, beams, gratings and rafters will be placed with a median distance of about 40 cm. The firewood or thick branches will be laid on the rafters, and then a layer of twigs will be laid. After that, the mud with a thickness of about 1 cm will be laid on the twigs, and the mud with a thickness of about 15 ~ 20 cm will be laid on the mud (generally, the floor is thin and the roof is thick). Finally, 2cm fine sand is paved on the coarse soil and compacted, and a certain slope is set to prevent ponding.

New style blockhouse

Nowadays, with the replacement of traditional building materials by new building materials, some changes have taken place in the structure of new blockhouse buildings. roof
