Abstract:

High-Chair Village is located in the south of the Wuling Mountain with a complicated living environment. But it has never undergone any wars, fire and other major damage since Ming dynasty. It is a large-sized and relatively intact residential building of architectural complex of Ming and Qing dynasties. Defensiveness plays an important role in traditional residences. This paper analyses its defensive tactics and techniques full of geographical characteristics from three aspects, namely village location, architectural form and spatial organization in order to learn the essence of creation from the ancient people.
