Why is China's architecture the boldest in color among all architectural systems in the world?

China's bold architectural colors should refer to the ancient buildings in China, especially the interior decoration of ancient buildings, such as ceilings, caissons and beams. Paintings are commonly known as "Danqing". Paintings in ancient buildings are decorative paintings drawn by the ancients on ancient buildings, which are not only beautiful, but also waterproof to some extent, increasing the life of buildings. It appeared very early, flourished after Yuan Dynasty, and reached its peak in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The reasons are as follows: firstly, China culture is bound by religion, which is far less intense than monotheism, allowing the government and people to express their themes boldly, strongly and richly; Secondly, there are many wooden structures in ancient buildings in China, and it is natural to paint the surface decoration; In addition, it should be admitted that it comes from the tradition of nomadic people, who often live on monotonous grasslands with strong and rich color decorations (Tibet and Mongolia are proof), while China's painting tradition comes from the Yuan Dynasty to a great extent; China's traditional culture is the unity of nature and man. Mostly gray and garden-style, it needs cinnabar columns and ceiling paintings to balance. China, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and other national cultures are also outstanding in this respect.

Of course, China is not the only country that uses bold colors. This view is just a statement among architectural scholars. Don't take it too seriously.
