中华建筑始祖有巢氏考——构木为巢的有巢氏之事迹

古史传说时代的有巢氏,先秦文献把他排在燧人氏之前,其前有大巢氏,传二世。有巢来自大巢氏,传七世,比燧人氏稍早或同期,世代延续的年代也约相当。我国人类发展史上有穴居、巢居、屋居时代。巢居,含有在树木上架屋、地上筑屋两个阶段,约代表和反映了"前仰韶文化"时期先民的居室情况。大巢、有巢氏皆为氏族首领(即人),非"时代符号"或"神"。他因筑屋为民造福,故被人们推崇到"王天下"的尊位,也是中华民族的建筑始祖。

A Survey of Youchaoshi——A Forefather of Chinese Architecture——Achievements of Youchaoshi: Wooden Nests

In ancient history books,Youchaoshi was ranked by Qin Dynasty only next to Dachaoshi with Shuirenshi following it,passing on for two generations.Derived from Dachaoshi with duration of seven generations,Youchaoshi survived in the same period as that of Shuirenshi or a little bit earlier,lasting almost the same length of time.In the human history,the Chinese developed their shelters from caves,nests to houses.Nests involve two periods of framing and building houses on trees and on the ground,representing the housing conditions of the ancient residents of the "Former Yangshao Culture".Dachao and Youchaoshi both were chiefs(referring to persons),not signs of times or god.He built houses,from which the residents could benefited a lot and they respected him as a "king of the world".He deserves the honor of forefather of Chinese architecture.
