Why do most traditional buildings in China use wooden frame structures?

1. Hanging beam frame, also known as "stoplog frame", is the most common wooden frame form in ancient buildings in China, and is often used in palaces, temples, monasteries and other large buildings.

2. Barrel structures are mostly used in residential buildings and smaller buildings.

3. Good dry frame, simple structure, wood saving, suitable for areas with high forest resource coverage or cold areas, such as northeast forest areas and southwest mountainous areas.

4. Dry-column wooden frame is to build a very high platform with columns on the ground floor, put beams and boards on the platform, and then build a house on it. It can be seen in Jiangnan and Yunnan-Guizhou areas that the overhead at the bottom should be used to prevent insects, animals and snakes, and it is also convenient for ventilation and drying.
