The Uygur folk house construction technique is a traditional Uygur architectural technique, which was declared a national cultural heritage in 2011. Clay earth building has a long history in Turpan. The residents of Tuyugou inherited the traditional habit of building houses with yellow clay two thousand years ago. The houses are all cave-style buildings built with yellow clay, which are economical, warm in winter and cool in summer, and beautiful in shape. The existing ancient folk houses on the hillsides on the east and west banks of Tuyugou are beautifully shaped, lined up in rows, and stretch out continuously. The oldest surviving ones have a history of four or five hundred years. Whether it is a folk house or a Buddhist cave from the previous year, they are all built with yellow clay, and they still shine with the unique light of "yellow clay culture". The residents of Tuyugou also use yellow clay to build underground caves for summer vacation. The caves are generally square, and there are also rectangular ones, with a depth of 1.5 meters to 2 meters. Hard soil can be left uncovered, and poor soil can be covered with wood and straw mats. In the era without electric fans and air conditioners, underground caves were a good place to escape the summer heat. Ancient documents recorded that "they used bricks to block the heat, and they all pried the ground to live in and went out to work at night." Uyghur folk architecture. Traditional buildings are square with skylights. The roof is generally flat and can be used as a drying field. Indoors, solid earth kangs are generally built, and there are also hollow kangs for heating, about 30 cm high, for living, sitting and lying. Niches are opened on the wall to place food and utensils. Some niches also form various geometric patterns, and they like to hang tapestries and plaster carvings on the wall. In southern Xinjiang, Uyghur residences are mostly square in shape with courtyards. The main door should not face west, and the living room is on a long front porch. Uyghurs mainly live in Xinjiang. In order to adapt to the natural environment of the local desert area with little rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night, their houses mostly take advantage of the local soil's strong cohesiveness and easy dehydration and molding characteristics, and use local materials to create flat-roofed adobe houses with good thermal insulation performance. They are composed of thick earth walls and arched roofs, with few windows and emphasis on courtyard space, so that the interior and exterior of the house can penetrate and blend with each other. The residential buildings in southern Xinjiang are characterized by outdoor activity venues as the center. The "Ayiwang" style and "Aksai" style residential buildings are all outdoor venues in the middle, surrounded by houses with external corridors, forming an introverted style of the house. In terms of decoration, the exterior is light and the interior is heavy. The external corridors, ceilings, doors and windows are mostly made of wood carvings, decorated with caissons and colorful paintings. The decorative techniques are delicate and the content is rich. Gypsum floral decorations are generally used in indoor wall niches and other places. The decorative patterns are mostly plants or geometric patterns, and there are also Uyghur text patterns. After the 10th century AD, Islam was introduced into the Western Regions, and Arab architectural culture had a great influence on Uyghur architecture, which greatly changed the patterns, patterns, colors and the composition of some components. The Uyghur houses in the Turpan Basin have formed the characteristics of building underground earth buildings in the long struggle with nature. Earthen arch houses are popular there, and the space is divided by adobe flower walls and arches. Attention is paid to ventilation in the courtyard and indoors. Generally, the door openings are made of tubes, which can form a good through-wind. Skylights are left at the top of the tube arches to facilitate indoor ventilation. Some buildings have external corridors, which make the depth of the main rooms shallower, and the doors face the external corridors to facilitate ventilation.
