Xisuo residence

Xisuo residence

Today's xisuo folk house is called zhuokeji Chuanba (meaning zhuokeji Street) in the history of chieftain. At that time, most of the people living here were Koba, merchants and folk craftsmen of zhuokeji chieftain. After liberation, this place was divided into xisuo village group. Nowadays, most of the villagers living in the middle of the people are the descendants of the original chieftain, merchants, folk craftsmen and craftsmen. It is understood that the oldest resident in this village has been living for dozens of generations.

Characteristics of folk houses

Xisuo folk house has the unique characteristics of Jiarong Tibetan, and maintains the traditional architectural style of Jiarong ancestors, which is "building a room with stones". The stockade is row upon row, scattered and well arranged. From a distance, it looks like a fortified castle. From a distant bird's-eye view of the whole residence, you will be surprised to find that the xisuo Tibetan village is very similar to the "Huayi" pattern in the Tibetan Babao pattern (like the "Chinese knot", representing Sakyamuni's heart), and the straight, vertical and zigzag bluestone path in the village shows the lines of the pattern very clearly. Walking on the green slate path, the sound of footsteps reverberates between the towering stone walls and extends in the slender path, giving people a kind of flaw of winding path leading to seclusion. These stone buildings with clear lines and prominent edges and corners are natural to the surrounding precipitous mountains, precipitous cliffs and other natural environment. The bright totem houses, red tiles and fluttering prayer flags add a bit of mystery here. The Tibetan village is full of three storey stone buildings, with livestock on the ground floor, kitchen and accommodation on the second floor, and scripture hall and guest rooms on the third floor. Residential buildings are shaped like blockhouses, also known as blockhouses. The walls around the house are made of rubble and bonded with yellow mud. The wall is up to 1 meter thick. The masonry method of straight inside and straight outside is adopted. Based on their experience, the stone walls are as neat as bean curd. The edges and corners are sharp and the top is narrow and the bottom is wide. The whole wall is in a compressive state and becomes the main load-bearing body of the building. In addition to the mutual support and pull of the internal wood structure beams, the whole building is big and small, the center of gravity is inward, and the stability is strong. At the highest point, the four corners of the watchtower follow the trend to form a corner front, creating a momentum. The edge of the stone wall at the highest point is thickened to avoid the planarization of the wall surface and enhance the three-dimensional sense. The roof is divided into two parts, the front half is flat top, three sides are built into low walls; the back half is inclined mountain type, covered with stone slabs or tiles. The windows on each floor are small outside and large inside. The window frames are very exquisite, and the skills of carving, painting and coloring are used. The national characteristics are very strong. This kind of watchtower is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also has unique architectural art and high aesthetic value, just like precious works of art.
