Özet:

The village chamber is one of the concrete cultural heritages that reflect Turkish culture and Turkish art, which continues its tradition from past to present in many villages of Anatolia. Hosting guests is a very common tradition in Turkish culture; The problem of where the foreign guests coming to the village from outside would stay was taken into consideration by the rich prominent people of the village or the village people, and village rooms were built in the villages through collective work. Building a village room later became a tradition, and in addition to its function of hosting guests from outside, it also became structures where village people gather, spend time, and socialize in their spare time. Village chambers have also become units where the village people organize various entertainments, perform local games, tell various folk stories, recite chants, and teach manners and etiquette by seeing them.
