As an important carrier of traditional Chinese culture, Beijing courtyard housesThe living model of "four generations living together" not only carries family ethics and spatial wisdom, but also demonstrates unique Eastern wisdom in the construction of resilient cities in contemporary times——useThe ethical space system of the unity of heaven and manAs the core, transform family cohesion into the Eastern paradigm of community resilience network.
Beijing Siheyuan was promoted by Kublai Khan during the Yuan DynastyStarting from the policy of "one cent for every eight acres" of homestead land, a physical carrier for family cohabitation has been constructed based on the spatial ethics of "respecting elders in the main house and children in the wing house". This ritualistic residential unit forms a natural resilient foundation.On a family basis“Four generations living together”Co living mode,Not only does it maintain family ethics, but it also forms a natural care network,And the knowledge inheritance of crisis and disaster response.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties,The Feng Shui Wisdom of "Kanzhai Xunmen"Introduced into the courtyard, during the construction of the courtyard,Design the southeast facing gate as a climate regulator, which not only introduces the southeast wind in summer to improve the microclimate, but also blocks the northwest cold wind in winter with a high wall. In the courtyardThe drip trough seepage well goldfish tankRainwater management system,Coincidentally with the modern sponge city concept,Recorded in Ming Dynasty literatureSiheyuanThe depth of infiltration wells is mostly controlled withinWithin 3 meters, it not only avoids polluting groundwater, but also achieves rainwater infiltration through sand layer filtration.SiheyuanThe seismic performance of wooden buildings is another toughness gene, which absorbs seismic energy through the elastic deformation of arch of wooden architecture. During the Tangshan earthquake, the traditional mortise and tenon structure of the quadrangle courtyard was displayedThe resilience characteristics of "a house does not collapse when a wall falls".
entermodern,The booming development of the Chinese economy and the increasing social mobility have broken throughThe family settlement model of "four generations under one roof", butThe courtyard houseCohabitationmodestillRevitalize with new vitality. In Nanluogu LaneThis is particularly evident in the practice of the "Symbiosis Institute": 20% of the original residential houses are retained in the east wing through "application based vacating", while the inverted houses are transformed into shared office spaces for young makers,formThe spatial ethical order of "respecting elders and living upright, passing on skills to the east, and innovating to the west";Xicheng District has installed IoT health monitoring devices in traditional courtyard houses. When the vital signs of elderly people living alone are abnormal, the system automatically triggers the community emergency response network, transforming the family mutual aid ethics into a community protection mode, significantly reducing the risk of home safety for the elderly populationUnder the virtual barrier constructed by digital technology, contemporary society is experiencing unprecedented social distancing, and the convenience of online interaction has intensified people's thirst for genuine emotional connectionThe modern symbiotic transformation of the 'Four Generations Under One Roof' quadrangle provides a tangible solution for the reconstruction of interpersonal relationships in the digital age.The evolution of century old courtyard houses into cultural carriersThe resilient cells of DNA continue to write the urban narrative of the coexistence of traditional wisdom and modern civilization in the process of applying for World Heritage along the central axis.
Compared to Freiburg, GermanyThe "Three Generation House" model promotes intergenerational contact by setting up activity rooms for the elderly and young in a centralized manner. The resilience practice of Beijing Siheyuan emphasizes the two-way construction of "spatial ethicalization" and "ethical spatialization". The intersection of Eastern and Western wisdom reveals that the essence of resilient cities lies not in technological accumulation, but in decoding cultural genes into governance logic, elevating family cohesion into community vitality, and expanding courtyard ecology into urban systems - this is precisely the Chinese style solution left by courtyard houses for modern civilization.
