Abstract
There are few studies about Chinese dwelling houses in historical ages because there are small research materials for it. However, there are many descriptions of dwelling houses in the records of disaster and extraordinary phenomena. Such descriptions are very simple but the total number of these descriptions is large. So I picked up such descriptions from Song-shi 宋史 and counted each term which may mean dwelling houses.As results, I got many terms and analyzed main 7 terms. Lushe 廬舎 means popular buildings, Min-she 民舎 means popular buildings of non-government people, Min-lu 民廬 means buildings which made by light materials, Min-ju 民居 means dwelling houses, Tian-lu 田廬 means buildings with fields, Jie 家 means someone's house, Wu 屋 means buildings and roofs.
