Introduction to the traditional dwellings of the Nu people: "The Nu people live on the top of the mountain", "covering bamboos for houses and weaving bamboos for walls", this is the ancient description of the Nu people's living life. The houses of the Nu people are built on stilts and mostly built against mountains. There are mainly two types of wooden houses and bamboo strip houses. The Nu people in Gongshan area mostly live in wooden houses or houses with half earth walls and half wood. Thousand-foot floor-to-ceiling houses are relatively spacious, usually with stacks of logs as walls and roofs covered with thin slates. The stone slabs are about one foot square and are laid from the eaves. The first piece is laid flat, the second piece is pressed on the top of the first piece, the third piece is pressed on the top of the second piece...all the way to the roof ridge. The Nu people in Fugong all live in bamboo strip houses. This kind of house is relatively short, usually made of bamboo strips as exterior walls and partitions, and covered with wooden boards or stone slabs. These two types of houses are generally two-story, and the upper floor is divided into two rooms. The outer room is for entertaining guests and has a firepit. An iron tripod or stone tripod is placed on the fire pit for cooking and drinking. The inner room is a bedroom and storage room. Store farm tools and sundries or livestock downstairs. The floor slabs are made of wooden boards or bamboo mats and are laid on many wooden piles on the slope. These wooden piles and pillars, like thousands of feet, support the entire house. Therefore, people often call this kind of house a "house with a thousand feet on the ground."
