How many grades are there in the abutment of ancient buildings?

Among the basic components of ancient architecture in China, the highest abutment was made by Sumitomo, and the highest color painting was the seal color painting.

Base: base. It is a building foundation above the ground. It is used to support the building, make it moisture-proof and anti-corrosive, and at the same time make up for the grand deficiency of the single building of ancient buildings in China. There are roughly four kinds. Ordinary abutment: compacted with plain soil or lime soil or broken brick concrete, about one foot high, mostly used in small buildings. Advanced abutment: It is higher than ordinary abutment, and white marble railings are often built on the abutment, which is used as a secondary building in large buildings or palace buildings. More advanced stylobate: Xumishan, also known as King Kong. "Sumeru" is a mountain name in ancient Indian mythology. According to legend, it is located in the center of the world and is the highest mountain in the universe. During this period, the sun, moon and stars haunt it, and the three realms of heaven are also built by it. Sumeru is used as the base of a Buddha statue or shrine to show the greatness of the Buddha. The ancient buildings in China use Sumitomo to indicate the grade of the building. It is generally made of brick or stone, with concave and convex feet and decorative patterns on it, and white marble railings on the stage, which are often used in the main palace buildings in palaces and famous temples. Highest abutment: It is formed by overlapping several sumeru seats, which makes the building look more magnificent and tall. The most advanced buildings, such as the Three Great Halls of the Forbidden City and Dacheng Hall of the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province, stand on the highest abutment.
