Typical explanation for the rollover great number of landslides, mostly occurring during is data biasing which suggests that small landslides have intense, short-duration rainfall. Most of the landslides are been undercounted among other things, so artificially located at the southeast aspect, as major rainfall come from reducing the probability of small landslides (Hungr et al. the southeast. 1999;Brardinonietal.2003; Malamud et al. 2004a, b).

From north to south these include the North China craton (including the north Qinling block), the Qinling–Dabie microblock, and the South China craton (including the Bikou block), separated by the Shangdan and Mianlue sutures. The Mianlue suture zone contains evidence for Mesozoic extrusion tectonics in the form of major strike–slip border faults surrounding basement blocks, a Late Paleozoic ophiolite and a ca. 240–200 Ma thrust belt that reformed by 200–150 Ma thrusts during A-type (intracontinental) subduction. The regional map pattern shows that the blocks are surrounded by complexly deformed Devonian to Early Triassic metasandstones and metapelites, forming a regional-scale block-in-matrix mélange fabric.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: November 26, 2013 Accepted: December 26, 2013 Online Published: December 30, 2013 doi:10.5539/ach.v6n1p72 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v6n1p72 Source of the subject: Humanities and Social Sciences Research Plan Fund of the Ministry of Education “Traditional Shaanxi Residential Building Art and Cultural Heritage of Residential Customs (Emergency) Research” (12YJAZH064). Abstract Silted building is one of the most characteristic traditional residential building types. In the historical process of social transition, silted building has powerful ecological adaptability. Nowadays, there are only a limited number of silted buildings in the Southern Shaanxi region. Thus, this paper is aimed to acquire the first hand data by a field survey on the silted buildings in Yanzibian in Hanzhong, Southern Shaanxi region. Through an analysis of its building idea and technique, the paper interprets the ecological features of silted building in terms of aesthetic consciousness, selection of site, pattern, material usage and building technique, etc. The research result is aimed to provide a lot of referential influences and value for residential buildings and construction of new rural areas in the future and to provide enlightenment for design of ecological buildings.
