Abstract:This paper mainly studies the characteristics and influential mechanism of the timber frame in Wuzhou traditional residences. Wuzhou traditional residences are known as the "pearl" of Chinese traditional residences, which develop the integration of wood carving art and architectural art to the extreme. However, the relevant research mainly focuses on the general layout and construction technology, and there are few studies on the composition or characteristics of timber frame in tingtang. Firstly, this paper studies the natural and social background of the traditional residences in Wuzhou. Then it clarifies the regional characteristics of the timber frame under the specific environment through field investigation and literature research. This study can supplement the research on the traditional residences in Wuzhou, and pave the way for further exploring the characteristics and zoning of the timber frame in Jiangnan region.
