What components are the "doors" in ancient buildings in China?

The wisdom of craftsmen in ancient buildings should not be underestimated. The components of the ancient building gate are generally composed of door frame, door head, door leaf, door nail, door pier, door ring and door nail.

China's classical architecture is an extremely splendid part of the excellent culture of the Chinese nation. Understanding architectural culture is a very interesting activity. Because the ancient people in China paid attention to architectural modeling and spatial changes, which reflected the wisdom of our ancestors. Today we will appreciate and approach the doors in ancient buildings.

The gate is the main entrance and exit of the building, which is installed under the doorway of the courtyard wall or under the door of a large building. The gate is made of solid materials and heavy materials, which is generally a flat door rather than a partition door, that is to say, the door panel is solid and impermeable, which has better shielding effect and defense performance. Door panels can be made of wood, iron and other materials, and can also be made of wood covered with iron, copper or even gold. In order to fix the door leaf of the gate, a door frame should be installed between the door leaf and the door post, so that the width of the door leaf is naturally smaller than that between the door posts. The addition of the door frame needs to add various components at the same time, so the structure of the door looks very simple, in fact, there are many decorative details and precautions.

Generally speaking, there are two different ways to make door leaves: solid sofa door and chess door. Judging from the specific components, there are many cymbals outside the door and plugs inside the door. Pay more attention to the door panel of the gate, especially the cinnabar paint, which is the most elegant. In addition, the door panels of the official residence and the palace buildings are decorated with doornails, generally from No.5 to No.0 1 1, and the number of doornails can strictly distinguish the grades of buildings.

As the facade of China Siheyuan, Zhaimen often gives people the most intuitive first impression, which is the most concentrated embodiment of the traditional ancient architecture art in China, no matter from the shape, structure, carving and decoration.
