CHINESE ARCHITECTURE
Ancient Chinese architecture is an important component of the world architectural system. Through the years it formed into a style that combined stone carving, rammed earth construction, bucket arch buildings and many other techniques.
Chinese laboring people created many architectural miracles like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
The most significant characteristic
Is the use of timber framework. Painting and carving were added to make the work more beautiful and attractive.
The ancient buildings have a long history that can be tracked back all the way to the Shang Dynasty.
The houses are built in a very nice way with the roofs colored, windows with exquisite appliqué design and beautiful flower patterns.
The layout of a courtyard is unique to China. The main structure is on the central axis of a court while less important structures are to the left and right.
Houses of China were similar, the way of laying out a house was similar among rich and poor.
Chinese people build one floor of a building everyday. Some examples of beautiful buildings are the Liuhe Pagoda of Hangzhou, (it was build during the Song Dynasty); the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, (it was build during the Tang Dynasty); the Hall of Supreme Harmony within the Palace museum, (it was built during the Ming Dynasty). The Zhouzheng Garden in Suzhou, it’s one of the most finest gardens in China.
Now the architecture in China became modern, there are still ancient architectural building and houses, but lots of buildings and houses have been taking down to put the new modern buildings.
