One layout has a main house, two side wings and a screen wall. Another has buildings on four sides with a central court and smaller openings at the corners.<sup>[3][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Three-wing plan:<\/strong> A screen wall encloses the side opposite the main building.<sup>[3][5]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Four-sided plan:<\/strong> Small corner courts supplement the main court.<sup>[5]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Town setting:<\/strong> In the historic town, tiled timber houses follow the slope and share a landscape of narrow lanes and canals.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The examples here focus on Lijiang\u2019s buildings within the wider traditions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/naxi-culture\/\">Naxi culture<\/a>.<\/p><\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Naxi-courtyard-house-infographic-with-screen-wall-timber-doors-and-courts.webp\" alt=\"Naxi courtyard house infographic with screen wall timber doors and courts\" title=\"Naxi courtyard house infographic with screen wall timber doors and courts\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>Naxi courtyard house infographic with screen wall timber doors and courts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Enter through a lane gate and the view changes. Within the compound, galleries and rooms face inward. The central court gives the household an open area that can be seen from several rooms.<\/p>\n<h2>Three Wings and a Screen Wall<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The plan called san fang yi zhaobi (\u4e09\u574a\u4e00\u7167\u58c1, s\u0101n f\u0101ng y\u012b zh\u00e0ob\u00ec) uses three building ranges and a screen wall to define four sides of the court. The main hall looks across the open space to the wall. The hall served as a place to receive visitors and spend time with family.<sup>[3][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Tiandi Courtyard (\u5929\u5730\u9662, Ti\u0101nd\u00ec Yu\u00e0n) in Lijiang is one documented example. The main hall has six removable timber door panels. Seasonal flowers are carved on the central four. The report describes potted plants at the site and pebble-and-tile paving as a feature of Naxi courts. A 2025 report records its use for cultural displays and activities.<sup>[4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Four Sides and Five Courts<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The layout called si he wu tianjing (\u56db\u5408\u4e94\u5929\u4e95, s\u00ec h\u00e9 w\u01d4 ti\u0101nj\u01d0ng) brings four building ranges around one main court. Four smaller corner courts sit between the ranges. The plan therefore offers one broad shared space and smaller openings near the adjoining rooms.<sup>[5]<\/sup> This is one way to compare the arrangement with other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/siheyuan\/\">four-sided Chinese courtyard houses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Houses Relate to Lijiang\u2019s Waterways<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Black Dragon Pond feeds canals and smaller channels in the old town. Some houses stand beside lanes that run along these channels, and some face water near their entrances. The channels follow the terrain and help shape where lanes, bridges and entrances meet.<sup>[1][2]<\/sup> Water also shaped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/jiangnan-water-town-houses\/\">Jiangnan water-town houses<\/a>, in another region with different building traditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">China\u2019s National Ethnic Affairs Commission describes tiled courtyard houses becoming more widespread around Lijiang in the Qing period as local builders incorporated building practices from neighboring peoples. Similar court plans appear in Bai and Naxi communities in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/yunnan-culture\/\">Yunnan<\/a>.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>FAQs About Naxi Courtyard Houses<\/h2>\n<h3>Are the Five Courts the Same Size?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The central court is the main open space. The other four are smaller openings between the ranges.<sup>[5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>Are Naxi Courtyard Houses Unique to Lijiang?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lijiang has well-known examples. Courtyard types with three wings and a screen wall or four sides and five courts are also documented in the wider region among Bai and Naxi households.<sup>[3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>What Does the Lijiang World Heritage Property Include?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">It includes Dayan (\u5927\u7814, D\u00e0y\u00e1n) Old Town with Black Dragon Pond and the Baisha (\u767d\u6c99, B\u00e1ish\u0101) and Shuhe
