What does it mean to carve clouds on buildings?

Carving clouds on architecture is undoubtedly a classic aesthetic expression. This kind of carving is not only to decorate the building itself, but also represents a cultural heritage and love for nature. In China culture, the cloud represents the meaning of auspiciousness and beauty. Therefore, many traditional buildings will carve clouds of different shapes by hand on the decoration or roof. These clouds have different shapes, ranging from mellow clouds to fiery red Long Yun and related traditional China culture, which all reflect different schools of urban culture in ancient China architecture.

The architectural carving of Yun Qi originated from the ancient art of creation and Chinese character culture in China. In a certain period of China's ancient history, such as the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, architectural carving has become an indispensable position in architectural design at that time. People who built buildings at that time believed that the natural force represented by clouds was an energy source to encourage people to produce and enjoy. Therefore, they are often carved on the eaves of buildings with the theme of "cloud", presenting an elegant atmosphere for buildings.

In modern architecture, carving flowers in the form of clouds is not only the representative of ancient traditional architecture in China, but also a part of modern architectural creativity. It can be seen everywhere in every city in Chinese mainland. Combining the cultural quality of architecture with innovation full of science and technology has played a role in some creative buildings in recent years. Nowadays, artificial clouds have begun to appear in buildings in many cities, and the carving of clouds has finally shown a wonderful change in light and shadow. This kind of creative cloud sculpture provides a comfortable daily environment for the tired people in the city.
