人类住进了房屋,这个极其简单的事实却具有非常重大的意义。它意味着人类以自己创造的文化手段把自身从自然界完全独立出来,这样一来,房屋实际上就成了自然与文化的分界。我们不能简单地用“物质文化”这个概念来看待居住文化,事实上,居住从来就是一个普遍的综合的文化现象。人们在文化创造中对自然条件的利用——自然环境对文化的作用、人们的经济活动、社会结构形态、观念形态、外来文化的影响,以及这一切的历史变迁都能在居住中有所反映。因此可以说,一个民族、一个社会、一个地方的文化历史和文化观念,都无言地寓于该民族、该社会、该地区的居住之中。 The fact that mankind lives in a house is extremely significant. It means that mankind is completely independent from nature in the cultural means it has created. In this way, housing actually becomes the boundary between nature and culture. We can not simply look at the culture of living with the notion of “material culture”. In fact, living has always been a universal and comprehensive cultural phenomenon. The utilization of natural conditions by people in cultural creation - the role of the natural environment in culture, the economic activities of people, social structure, ideological form, the influence of foreign cultures, and all these historical changes can be reflected in the dwelling . Therefore, it can be said that the cultural history and cultural values ​​of a nation, a society and a place are all sparsely embedded in the nation, the society, and the area’s inhabitants.
