Introduction to the Diaojiao House: The Miao Diaojiao House is a characteristic ethnic building in Guizhou. Because most of the Miao people live in alpine mountainous areas, the mountains are high and the slopes are steep. It is extremely difficult to level and excavate the foundation. In addition, the weather is cloudy, rainy, humid and foggy. , the ground floor of the brick house was very heavy and unsuitable for living, so a unique building on stilts was designed. Diaojiao buildings are usually divided into two or three floors. The upper floor only houses food but no one lives in it; the lower floor is used for storing debris or livestock pens.
