Traditional Mongolian dwellings are yurts, and Mongolians are nomadic people, which adapt to this feature-convenient installation and disassembly; Qiang people's houses are towers and stone houses. Qiang people's houses are flat-topped houses made of stones, which are square, mostly with three floors, each of which is more than 3 meters high. The bottom of the roof platform is a wooden board or slate, which extends out of the wall to form an eaves. Wood or slate is densely covered with branches or bamboo branches, and then covered with loess and chicken manure for compaction, with a thickness of about 0.35 meters. There are holes and slots for water diversion, so it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The roof platform is the place where children and the elderly thresh, bask in the grain, do needlework and play games. Some buildings have arcades to facilitate communication. Diaojiaolou is the most complex and typical architectural form that can best reflect wealth in Miao area. With the development of economic machine and the progress of culture, diaojiao building has become a common building in Tujia area. As far as its structure is concerned, the diaojiao buildings in different regions are similar. Their most basic feature is that the main house is built on the ground, and the wing rooms are connected with the main house except one side leaning on the ground. The other three sides are suspended and supported by columns. People live in the main house and the wing (that is, the corner hanging part), and the lower part of the wing has columns without walls, which are used to feed livestock and pile up miscellaneous things. Generally speaking, the diaojiao building should still belong to the dry fence type building, but it is different from the general dry fence. The stilts should be completely suspended, so the diaojiao building is called semi-stilt building. The houses of Hui people are mainly bungalows, because the place where they live is dry and rainy all the year round.
