What does thatched house mean?

As the name suggests, a thatched house is a house built with grass as the main building material. The thatched house has another name, that is, thatched house. It can still be seen vaguely in some economically backward villages, but there are very few thatched houses used for living in people. They are mostly used for raising livestock or warehouses for storing items. But thatched houses are not all made of grass. The building materials generally include stone, wood, and soil. Grass is mostly used to build roofs because it is light.

After the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of domestic cities, thatched houses have basically disappeared in cities. But there are still some thatched houses surviving in the city in another way. That is Cao Fang Fang Hotel, Cao Fang Fang Resort, etc. Through the integration of modern construction, high-end services, leisure and entertainment, Cao Fang Fang has transformed into a label for high-end life.

From primitive man to modern man, thatched house is a milestone in human evolution. As we all know, humans evolved from primates. In ancient times, the natural environment was extremely harsh. The invention of thatched houses protected humans from wind and rain, protected them from severe cold and heat, and gave humans at that time a roof over their heads. To survive in the harsh natural environment, the invention of the thatched house can be the crystallization of mankind's great wisdom.

But thatched houses are not unique to China. Because the raw materials of thatched houses are easy to obtain and the construction process is simple, thatched houses have also been invented and constructed in many places around the world. For example, thatched houses are also constructed in Africa, Europe, America and other places. With the advancement of human civilization, from the original thatched houses mainly used for living in people, the functions of thatched houses also began to increase, such as utility rooms used to store items, livestock houses used to house livestock, and grain houses used to store grains. Thatched houses once appeared in Cangdu.
