Archival excavations of 25,000 buildings revisit the charm and warmth of life in the domestic world of Paris in the 18th century. Contemporary people generally value privacy and have higher requirements for private space. But this human desire for privacy is not natural and has existed since ancient times. So where does our sense of privacy come from? This book focuses on Paris in the 17th and 18th centuries. Based on the data of 3,000 "death lists", this book explores the emergence and development of concepts such as "sociality", "comfort" and "family life", and thereby examines the issue of privacy. The author believes that during this period, the space allocation and furniture installations in Parisian residences became more and more perfect and organized; rooms changed from being distributed on multiple floors to being concentrated on the same floor; Parisian housewives also experienced a change in behavioral patterns from squatting to standing. With the help of these details, we are able to lift off the roofs of these homes, peek into their interiors, and develop a rich and graphic imagination about the daily lives of ordinary Parisians at that time. From the differences between cramped and crowded rental buildings and aristocratic villas with carriage passages, spacious gardens and courtyards, the author reveals people's emphasis on privacy and family life, and then confirms that the sense of privacy in the modern sense is born from this. This book reveals the birth process of privacy like bamboo shoots, explores the connection between material life and human ideas, and clearly shows a specific scene of the evolution of human civilization.
