前言
China’s architectural development history can be traced back to ancient times when birds, beasts, worms and snakes ran amuck everywhere. “A sage built houses with wood to protect people from harm.” (Hanfeizi – Five Vermin) At that time, the course of development of Chinese ancient architecture with wood structure as the main part supplemented by bricks, tiles and stones began. Chinese ancient architecture was not only drawn on for reference in modern architectural design, but also exerted global influence and became cultural heritage receiving worldwide attention a long time ago. Appreciating Chinese ancient architecture is like opening a thick history book. The ancient legends, the great achievements of the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the great Tang Empire, the events in the imperial palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the intelligence and wisdom of innumerable ordinary laborers not mentioned in historical books are vividly recorded by it.In terms of architectural types, Chinese ancient architecture includes imperial palaces, temples, palace halls, residences, tombs, garden architecture, etc. Among them, palaces, temples, tombs, etc. all have similar architectural forms and overall layouts, i.e. they are symmetrical and orderly, the important and less important parts are clearly distinguished, and a central axis links various closed courtyards and shows the closed, precise and reserved national character or pure Confucian style. Only garden architecture is different with free and flexible layouts full of changes, pursuing a natural atmosphere to the utmost and of course having more traces of Taoism.
