Why should low walls be built around ancient Korean buildings?

Please. If you don't understand, don't recommend it indiscriminately, so as not to mislead people.

Keywords: Korean architecture "never compares with natural scenery" and strives to conform to nature. The more hidden the better, the low wall will appear.

Dig deeper into the following:

The expression of Korean ancient architecture can also be called Korean ancient architecture. Or they can be regarded as a concept.

Korean ancient architecture was influenced by China architecture earlier. They are all made of stone, imitation wood structure.

The art created by the people on the Korean Peninsula has always had the same aesthetic concept, theme, techniques and forms as neighboring countries China and Japan. However, they also formed their own unique style. Korean art rarely shows the grandeur and detachment of China art, or the mature decorative consciousness of Japanese art.

The advantages of Korean artists mainly lie in simplicity, naturalness and respect for nature, which usually brings a sense of peace and tranquility.

China's philosophy of Yin and Yang, the five elements of heaven and earth, Feng Shui, Taoism and Confucianism have the most obvious influence on Korean architecture. Koreans believe that life should live in harmony with nature, so they naturally accept these naturalistic philosophies and apply their own explanations of these philosophies to architectural planning and architectural site selection. The natural environment has always been considered as the most important factor in ancient Korean architecture. A large number of Buddhist temples distributed all over the country are proof of Korea's excellent Buddhist art tradition, and most of them are built in beautiful mountains.

What is unusual about ancient Korean architects is that they will never try to run counter to the magnificent natural environment or compare with the natural scenery. They all try to realize an ideal of harmony between architecture and natural environment, or try to obey the natural environment. In the general design of ancient Korean temple buildings, most of the retreat rooms, Buddhist temples and lecture halls were built in a courtyard in the foothills or valleys, almost completely covered by tall and short trees.

No matter what house you build, you should pay attention to choosing a place where you can see the mountains and rivers, otherwise it will not be good enough. This pursuit of constant contact with nature is not only out of love of beauty. Feng Shui believes that without the care of nature, it is impossible for a person's intelligence and feelings to develop normally, nor can he expect to be lucky all his life. The principle of geomantic omen is applicable to the choice of living place for the living and the dead. To build a house, the back of the mountain must face south. Ideally, the mountain behind has left and right "wings" to embrace the house, and their inner respect for nature determines that their "wings" are low walls or tall and short trees. And according to the consideration of Yin and Yang, there should be water flowing in front of the house. When building houses, everyone tries to avoid artificial buildings destroying the natural terrain outline, because that will also destroy the natural harmony that people attach great importance to.

The above is the study of architectural culture and national characteristics.
