I believe that many people have some red brick houses in their hometowns when they were young, and they are the landmarks of rural China, carrying nostalgia and memories. The red brick house has a simple and elegant appearance, giving it a sense of tranquility and warmth, so it is very popular. However, in recent years, red brick houses have been banned by the state, why is this? What is the story behind the ban on red brick houses? Let's unravel this mystery and understand the story behind the ban on red brick houses.
1. Advantages of red brick houses
The reason why the red brick house is widely used is because it has many advantages.
1. Beautiful appearance
The appearance of the red brick house is very beautiful, the red brick wall with the gray tile roof gives people a simple and warm feeling, which is one of the reasons why many people like red brick houses.
2. Simple construction
It is relatively simple to make red bricks, and the construction is also very convenient, and a house can be built quickly, which is undoubtedly a great advantage for rural areas.
3. Good sound insulation
The red bricks are thicker, so they have a good soundproofing effect, which can keep the people who live in them away from the noise and enjoy a quiet life.
2. The ban on red brick houses
Despite all the advantages of red brick houses, why does the state still prohibit them? In fact, there are also some problems in the use of red brick houses, which is also the reason why the state prohibits the use of them.
1. Destruction of agricultural resources
The production of red bricks requires a lot of land resources, and red brick factories usually choose fertile land for construction, which will cause damage to agricultural resources and affect local agricultural production.
2. Produce pollutants
The production of red bricks requires firing, which produces large amounts of pollutants that seriously affect local air quality and pose a threat to people's health.
3. Weak earthquake resistance
The earthquake resistance of red brick houses is relatively weak, and once an earthquake occurs, it is easy to cause the collapse of the house, which threatens the safety of people's lives and property.
4. Consumes a lot of coal resources
The firing of red bricks requires a large amount of coal resources, and we all know that coal resources are a non-renewable energy source, and excessive use will exacerbate the energy crisis and cause irreversible effects on the environment.
On the whole, although the use of red brick houses can bring certain convenience to people, it will also bring a lot of negative impacts, which violates the concept of green development advocated by the mainland, so the state will explicitly prohibit the use of red bricks.
3. Alternative building materials
Since the red brick house can no longer be used, what kind of building materials can replace it?
In fact, today's building materials are very diverse, and there are many materials that can replace red bricks, and they have improved safety and environmental protection.
1. Unburned bricks
Unburned brick is a new type of building material, which does not need to be fired, and can be made directly from natural resources, so it has good environmental protection and can also reduce energy consumption.
2. Green bricks
Green brick has a wide range of applications in traditional buildings in the mainland, it not only has good compressive and frost resistance, but also has a good thermal insulation effect, is a very ideal building material.
3. Cement bricks
Cement bricks are widely used in modern buildings, its production process is relatively simple, and standardized production can be carried out to ensure that the quality of each brick is the same, thereby improving the overall quality of the house.
4. Sand-lime bricks
Sand-lime bricks are mainly made of materials such as sand, lime and cement, it has good compressive properties, and it can also be recycled, making it a very environmentally friendly building material.
These materials can be used as a substitute for red bricks, and they have a great improvement in safety and environmental protection, which can fully meet the needs of modern buildings.
Fourth, the country's policy orientation
There is another very important reason why the state wants to ban the use of red bricks, that is, to guide the construction industry to move towards green development.
At present, the construction industry in mainland China has put forward many green building concepts, and the implementation of these concepts is inseparable from safe and environmentally friendly building materials.
Therefore, by prohibiting the use of red bricks, the state will guide the construction industry to use more environmentally friendly and safe building materials, and will also ban those materials with high pollution and potential safety hazards, so as to fundamentally protect the safety of people's lives and property and promote the green development of the construction industry.
5. The cultural significance of red bricks
Although red brick is forbidden to be used as a building material, it has a very important significance as a cultural symbol and carries the common memory of the countryside.
Many people are full of nostalgia and pursuit of red bricks, and they hope that they can continue and inherit the cultural significance of red bricks in some ways.
In fact, we can express our love for red bricks in many ways, such as showing the charm of red bricks through literary works and works of art, and we can also protect and repair some red brick buildings with historical value, so that more people can understand the history and culture of red bricks.
Only in this way can red bricks be truly cherished by people and become an important part of our local memory.
