China Architecture-Wikipedia as a layman in architecture, I can only make a simple introduction based on simple information, without systematic knowledge. Primitive period-embryonic period First of all, we should understand the appearance, layout and materials of houses in Shang and Zhou Dynasties (BC 1600-256). At that time, ordinary farmers and soldiers lived in simple houses, and only those palace-style buildings could reflect the highest technical level of ancient architects.
Reconstruction of Palace Buildings in Shang and Zhou Dynasties During this period, China ancient house designers lacked effective tools to build mature cities or high-rise buildings, but the bucket arch, as one of the most important symbols of China houses, was widely used. Although the limited technology and simple design did not contribute much to the development of houses in China at that time, the cultural thought of China Zhou Dynasty had a far-reaching influence on later domestic buildings. In addition, after years of experience, wood has become the main building material in China.
The second stage-mature performance
Then, due to the earlier political system and economy, the classical architecture in China reached a small climax in the Qin and Han Dynasties (256 BC-220 AD). From cultural relics, historical research, archival picture reconstruction to architecture in Qin and Han dynasties, there were many previous technical support and new people's aesthetic tendencies. On the one hand, the larger scale, more complex layout and updating function meet the huge demand of the upper class and civilians; On the other hand, there are signs that diversified facilities in large cities have matured.
Section III-Enrichment At this stage, the introduction of private gardens and pagodas enriched the types of houses in China, while other types of buildings stagnated-the heyday of China architecture 58 1- 1279. I really lack language to express the beauty and great development of China's ancient buildings at the climax. The mature Summer Palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties-Wikipedia Yuanmingyuan Station-Wikipedia Siheyuan-Wikipedia also suggested me to introduce more ancient residential buildings in China because of a comment, so I searched a lot and decided to show pictures by simple regional division.
