The yurt is a Kazakh residential building, which is suitable for relocation in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, flat-topped adobe houses are built on winter pastures. The felt house consists of fence, pole, top ring, felt and door, which is divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part is cylindrical and the upper part is dome. The lower part of the cylinder is surrounded by a fence composed of horizontally and vertically staggered mangroves. There is a skylight at the top, which is covered with movable felt for ventilation. Some roof mats are decorated with red or other colors. The yurt door is very small, and it is a double wooden door with carved patterns. In Kazakh, it is called "Skcaiwuke". Generally, it is 1.5m high and 0.8 m wide, and it is high above the ground to prevent snow and severe cold. Most doors open to the southeast to avoid the north wind. Outside the door of the Mongolian yurt, there is a curtain with felt made of Achnatherum splendens, and the door is put down in winter and spring. There are long wooden poles in the felt house, which are used to pre-felt the top of the wood circle.
Felt houses are generally divided into four types: simple small felt houses and felt houses with 4, 6 and 8 walls. The furnishings and arrangements in the yurt are exquisite, generally divided into living, entertainment, stacking items, cooking and other parts. Into the middle of the yurt, facing the skylight, is the place to cook. There is a big carpet on the top of the felt house, and curtains are hung on the pole above the carpet. Carpet is a place for eating and receiving people during the day, and it is separated by curtains as a bedroom at night. Winter shelter: Kazak herders generally live in winter pastures from June 165438+ 10 to April of the following year. Houses in winter pastures are generally built in valleys or valleys that are sheltered from wind and snow.
