Residence is one of the basic needs of human survival. In the classic book “Occasional Notes with Leisure Motions”, the author mentions that people can’t live without house and clothes. In the Neolithic Age, clan tribes in the middle reaches of the Yellow River used wooden frames and grass mud to build simple homes, and then gradually developed into houses that built on the ground. In the West, such as ancient Greece and Rome, the structure of wooden support was used to build the home, and then developed into a truss-style wooden house.
