Relationship between Dai bamboo house and climate;

The Dai bamboo building was built to adapt to the local climate. Geographical environment. Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, is the settlement of A Dai, and the terrain height difference changes greatly, with mountains in the north, plateaus in the east and plains in the west. The climate in the whole region is also very different. The altitude of mountain area is 1700 meters, which belongs to temperate climate. The plain is 750-900 meters above sea level and has a subtropical climate. Some valley plains only 500 meters above sea level belong to tropical climate. Most Dai people live in Pingba area, where it doesn't snow all the year round and there is plenty of rainfall. The annual average temperature is 265,438 0℃, and the annual average rainfall is over 65,438 0,700 mm, which is obvious in dry season. However, the annual rainy season rainfall from May to 10 accounts for more than 85% of the whole area, and there are no four seasons. There are rolling hills and dense forests near Pingba area. In order to adapt to this hot, humid and rainy natural environment, Dai ancestors used the extremely rich bamboo and wood natural resources here to create a building with distinctive national characteristics-Ganlan six-style residence, also known as "bamboo building". The formation of this kind of Ganlan architecture is also the basic architectural form of Jingpo, De 'ang, Jinuo, Wa and other nearby ethnic minorities. In the "bamboo building", the wall made of bamboo strips and the floor made of bamboo are conducive to ventilation and heat dissipation, while the ventilation columns at the lower level are convenient for ventilation and moisture prevention and resistance to floods and wild animals. Bamboo architecture has the characteristics of warm in winter and cool in summer, moisture-proof, waterproof and shockproof. The building is several meters from the ground, so the indoor moisture is not easy to rise and the water will not flood the building. The bamboo building is square, ventilated on all sides, cool in summer and warm in winter.
