First of all, the difference of cultural concepts is the primary reason for the formation of architectural culture. As we all know, architecture is built for people, which determines the humanity of architecture. To study architecture in Chinese and foreign architectural culture, we should first start with material reality, ideology and cultural worship to see whether architecture worships people, people or gods. Secondly, look at the lifestyle and aesthetic taste reflected by architecture; Finally, look at architectural skills, traditions and the spirit of change. Because of the close relationship between architecture and human life, its great artistic expression and its profound isomorphic correspondence with human culture reflect human cultural ideas. In short, China's ancient architecture has always been centered on secular monarchs, permeated with China's ethical concepts; Ancient western architecture is religious and theocratic. The charm of China's traditional aesthetics lies in attaching importance to real life, human relations and order, downplaying religious beliefs, and always instilling the secular spirit of rebirth and comity, which embodies the traditional Confucian consciousness of attaching importance to people's group life. Therefore, the ancient capital of China laid special emphasis on the ritual order, and embodied the basic idea of Confucian etiquette of up and down, men and women in the residential layout, thus forming the architectural space model of interpersonal relationship. From the perspective of architectural culture, China ancient architecture not only embodies the practical rational tendency of attaching importance to real life, but also incorporates China's outlook on life and cosmology. China's economic model based on primitive agriculture created an activity model that emphasized selection, collection and storage in primitive civilization. China's traditional philosophy, which developed from this, preached the world outlook of "harmony between man and nature". "The Unity of Heaven and Man" reveals the relationship between man and nature. Nature and man are closely linked as a whole, and man is a link in nature. China people choose wood as the basic building material, which is the result of attaching importance to its affinity with life and its character and life. If Confucian philosophy is the general theory governing feudal society in China, on the contrary, Christian theology is the general theory and all-encompassing program of European feudal society. The church has become the center of society, which has led to the worship of gods and religions in western civilization, and deeply influenced their architectural art, thus highlighting the individual characteristics such as architectural ontology, diverse styles and artistic modeling pointing directly at the sky. Therefore, European classical architecture has the aesthetic characteristics of individual "sublime", which can be regarded as the expression of publicizing individuality and advocating individual image in culture. The primitive economy in the west was dominated by hunting.

The primitive mentality of creating heavy objects. From westerners' affirmation of stones, we can see the rational spirit of seeking wisdom and truth, emphasizing that in the relationship between man and nature, man is the master of the world, and his strength and wisdom can overcome everything. To sum up, China architecture pays more attention to spirit and artistic conception in temperament; Western architecture emphasizes material and appearance. The former is the unity of the group, which is internal and implicit; The latter is the highlight of the monomer and exposed to the outside world. As Mr. Liang Sicheng said: Generally speaking, a European-style building, like a European oil painting, can be seen at a glance; Any building in China is like a hand-painted painting by China. Hand-painted paintings must be spread out end to end, and it is impossible to see them all at the same time. When you walk into a house in China, you can only approach another garden from one garden, and you must walk through it all to see it all. The difference between Chinese and western architectural forms is the expression of cultural differences, reflecting the differences between material and natural environment, social structure, people's way of thinking and aesthetic realm.
