What are the benefits of building houses with oyster shells in rural Guangdong?

Everyone may have seen oysters and eaten oysters, but no one will realize the importance of oyster shells. In fact, many years ago, people used oyster shells to make tires for houses. This is the so-called oyster shell house. This should be the most distinctive Lingnan building, so many Zhou Xiao villages in Guangzhou made this kind of oyster shell house at that time. In fact, this is not common in many places, but now there is such an oyster in the third lane of Xiyuan, Guangzhou.

The oyster shell house has many advantages. It is very beautiful. The biggest advantage of oyster shell house is that it can prevent theft and moth, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is particularly comfortable to live in. It doesn't accumulate water. Every time it rains, it will drop milligrams, so this oyster shell house can be kept dry. In fact, the biggest advantage of this small series is that it is particularly beautiful, because many people build houses with tiles, but I have never seen such a house with oyster shells. This is my first time. The earliest history of oyster shell houses can be traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The surface of this oyster shell house itself is uneven, and under the direct sunlight, many shadows of oyster shell houses can be formed, so this summer is particularly cool and not hot.

The oyster shell house is not only beautiful, but also very suitable for living. Unlike our brick house, it absorbs heat very much. Because Lingnan itself has a lot of hot climate, this kind of house is especially popular with this local people. And this oyster shell is laid down at 45 degrees, so it is arranged neatly. This is also a particularly spectacular building. The oyster shell house is built like this. The oyster shell is 45 degrees downward, and it is not afraid when it rains, because there is also a lot of rain in Lingnan. Every time it rains, the rain will run down the oyster shell, so it is very dry.

Of course, an oyster shell house needs countless oyster shells, and it is difficult to find a place to realize it. It's just that few people really have such ingenuity to build this and save it until now.
