Siheyuan
is a historical type of residence, mostly rural, typical of Chinese
architecture, which is certified for the entire area of modern PRC, but
turned out to be especially popular in the Beijing area and in the
Jinzhong city area in Shanxi Province. Almost always, Siheyuan consisted
of a courtyard surrounded on three sides by residential buildings, and
on one side with an entrance gate. Often the Siheyuan was geographically
oriented, placing (for example) the gate to the south and the main
residential pavilion to the north. It is worth remembering that this
type of residence was not only used in China as a kind of canon when
erecting palaces or residences, but also monasteries, government
buildings and public utilities. The presented type of residence was born
in ancient China, its dating is uncertain and it became a specific
model for Chinese architecture in later centuries. Many buildings of
this type have survived to this day.
