The forms of residential architecture are deeply influenced by the natural environment of the region, such as terrain and climate, while also being constrained by the cultural traditions and lifestyles of various ethnic groups. The residential buildings of ethnic minorities in southern China feature widespread spatial distribution, diverse village forms, and a rich variety of architectural types, embodying a strong sense of local flavor and ethnic identity.
