I'd like to give a general description of the buildings in Suzhou gardens, as long as they are buildings, that is, houses, what types of styles and characteristics they have.

Because it was mainly built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has obvious architectural characteristics in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the last development stage of China's ancient architectural system. During this period, although the technology and modeling of ancient architecture in China became more and more stereotyped, remarkable achievements were made in the combination of architectural groups and the creation of space atmosphere.

Buildings are generally wooden structures, with blue brick walls or white walls and small blue tiles. Although the eaves of the building are small, they are high, the roof slope is large (up and down), and the cornices are curled up. The roof forms used are mostly pointed, rolled awning, hanging mountain and hard mountain. Bucket arches are small and complicated.

A large number of buildings and gardens are integrated and connected by folding corridors.

The paintings in the building are based on flowers, birds, fish, insects and folk stories, and elegant pigments are used. It is one of the two major schools of architectural painting in China, "Soviet-style color painting" (the other is Hexi color painting, which is specially painted for the royal family with the theme of rolling clouds and dragons).
