Ancient Chinese architecture, why wood as a material?

The architecture of ancient China used wood as a material. According to Liang Sicheng, wood "has been the main material used in Chinese architecture since ancient times. This is due to the fact that the Yellow River Valley, the birthplace of Chinese culture, had dense forests and inexhaustible wood in ancient times." And Li Zehou also said, "From the Neolithic period, such as the Half-slope site, the square or rectangular earth and wood building system had already begun, and it finally became the main form of architecture in China in later times. Unlike many ancient civilizations around the world, it was not stone architecture but wood architecture that became a major feature of China, why? There seems to be no answer so far." But many scholars have since tried to answer this.
