Homes
TO THE TEACHER
OBJECTIVES OF THIS UNIT: To enable students to think about how Chinese homes were built and
furnished. To encourage discussion of the connections between material culture and socialorganization. To provide concrete examples of regional variation in Chinese culture.
TEACHING STRATEGIES: Because students all have lived in homes, they should find it easy to thinkabout the ways organizing space shapes interactions or reflects social relations. The technical detail onhow houses were constructed should be of interest to anyone who has ever tried to build anything, andcertainly some students will find this approach to the material side of Chinese culture more interestingthan a more strictly aesthetic approach.
Because of its emphasis on climate and on regional variation, this unit complements the one on
geography at a more sophisticated level. To make this unit more challenging, students could be askedto relate the aesthetic principles of Chinese houses and furniture to the aesthetic principles they haveseen in other units (especially Ancient Tombs, Calligraphy, and Painting).
WHEN TO TEACH: This unit relies heavily on modern and contemporary photographs, but aims todocument features of traditional architecture that date back many centuries, giving the teacherconsiderable leeway on when to use it.
By the Ming dynasty, we have substantial evidence of
how people lived. Not only do some houses survive, but
we also have thousands of items of furniture from the
period, numerous illustrations of homes in novels and
plays published in the period, and even manuals
describing how to build houses and furniture. Besides,
we know enough about what houses were like in Ming
times to know when photographs of modern buildings
can be used to illustrate features of Chinese houses
already present in Ming times.
How people constructed, decorated, and furnished their
homes tells us a lot about their resources, aesthetic
preferences, and social habits. This unit covers building
structure and the interiors of homes. It offers material to
think about both class and regional variation. In China, as
in most other societies, houses are a form of material
culture with strong connections to family structure.
Indeed, like the English word house, the Chinese word jia
can be used to refer both to the physical building and the
family that occupies it.http://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv/home/thomintr.htm (1 of 2) [11/26/2001 11:02:43 AM]

Homes
Think about the following questions as you look at each aspect of the home environment:
What can we infer about people's lives from the spaces they created to live in?
How did geography shape how people met the need for shelter?
What aspects of house design and furnishing cannot be explained by climate?
Are there features of Chinese furniture that make it especially suited for use in a
Chinese house?What were the biggest differences in the ways the rich and the poor lived? Are these thesame sorts of differences one would have found in Europe of the same period?

Home Architecture

Province
Homes all over China in pre-modern times had a lot in common. The way of laying out a housewas similar among the rich and poor, both in earlier and later times. Certain materials and
techniques, such as pounded earth foundations, timber framing, and use of bricks and tile werepresent throughout the country. Nevertheless, houses were by no means identical in all parts ofChina. If we look at houses in different regions we can see much that differed from place toplace.
Although few examples of Chinese homes have survived from antiquity, using archeological
evidence, scholars have determined that many of the basic principles of Chinese house design,such as the emphasis on orientation, layout, and symmetry go far back in Chinese history. In thisunit we will examine first the basic elements of a Chinese house, then look at how houses variedby wealth and regional variation.

Home Architecture
Orientation
One of the most striking aspects of Chinese
domestic architecture is the practice of
making houses face south. Archeologists
have found that many Neolithic-period
houses were rectangular with a south-facing
door. Zhou period settlements were also
organized on a north-south axis. These early
dwellings no longer exist, but houses inChina, the earliest of which date from the
Ming dynasty, also show a tendency to face
south. Houses built today are also built
facing south, if space allows.
Detail from the Ming dynasty Carpenter's Manual showing
the best places to site a house. The text for the house to the
right says: If there is a rock resembling a wine jar, the
house changes into a 'site of fullness.' The family will be
rich and as soon as a wish is pronounced, gold and silver
will come pouring out.South-facing houses have several advantages. Can you think of some of them?
HINT: Besides issues related to sunlight, think of the direction of prevailing winds, especially cold winds.
The importance of orientation developed into the practice of feng-shui which literally means windand water but is often translated as geomancy.
Feng-shui concepts also dictated the kindsof material used in buildings. Combined with the location of the building, the proper buildingmaterials were thought to re-direct beneficial energy for the inhabitants. The most commonbuilding materials for houses in China are earth and wood, both of which have positive
associations.The foundation of a house generally is
made of pounded earth, and in some
situations where wood was rare, earth was
used in the construction of walls. Earth canbe pounded into shape or made into bricks
for walls. For roofs, depending on the wealth of a
family, the material could vary. Clay is a
fairly common material for making tiles for
roofing. In some areas, for poorer people,

thatch and bamboo were also common
material.
How do these building materials differ fromones found in your environment?

Wood framework systems are important to consider because they determine the size of thehouse. The basic building block of Chinese architecture is the bay or the space between,which is the space defined by roof supports. Chinese houses almost always consist of anodd number of bays; an even number of bays is considered unlucky. Therefore, three- orfive- bay houses are common.
