In the slave and feudal period, people began to use earth rams and wooden houses. It was also at this stage that people began to have specific standards for the number and location of doors and windows. At this time, doors and windows are mostly made of grass and wood. At this time, the doors and windows basically satisfy the functions of light-transmitting wind collection and space division, but their material properties lead to poor corrosion resistance. And due to technical limitations, the door and window opening and closing method is relatively simple at this time.
