Old Town of Lijiang was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List on 1997, becoming a world-renowned architectural classic. Unlike many palaces and ancient cities, Old Town of Lijiang is an ancient city of civilians, submerged in residential buildings. At the same time, because it is located in the frontier, it has strong cultural characteristics of ethnic minorities. In particular, the Naxi nationality, as the main ethnic group in Lijiang, has made outstanding contributions to the formation and development of Old Town of Lijiang, which also makes this ancient city reflect its unique architectural and aesthetic characteristics.
The architecture of a nation is also the concrete expression of the culture of a specific nation and a specific region. Its appearance is based on the material culture, spiritual culture level and needs of a specific history. At first, it emphasized practicality and functionality, and later it paid more and more attention to aesthetics and culture. As the main place of human production and life, residential buildings naturally become the space and place of various folk cultural activities, and also constitute a part of the folk environment, reflecting the unique cultural color of a nation and a place.
Harmony between man and nature is the concept of Old Town of Lijiang's formation and development, and it is also one of the characteristics of the ancient city's residential buildings. With the changes of the times, Naxi folk houses have experienced different architectural models. In the early days, it was represented by dry wooden rafters, their Tianzhu and mother columns, while the latter was mainly courtyard buildings with civil structures. However, there are also internal relations between them, especially with the long-standing architectural thought of Naxi people as the main line.
