Development status of traditional building technology of wood structure

With the rapid development of modern society, the face and lifestyle of the world are changing rapidly. In particular, the process of globalization and urbanization not only improves people's overall quality of life, but also destroys many beneficial traditional cultures, including some sustainable production and lifestyle.

In China, the content of modern architecture and the corresponding change of living style are also seriously squeezing the living space and corresponding construction technology of traditional wooden buildings. Although such buildings have been built in some parts of China, such as houses, palaces, temples, gardens, etc., and the corresponding architectural technologies have been extended and applied, we cannot ignore the negative effects brought to society by the massive disappearance of technological and cultural heritage brought about by globalization and urbanization. On the other hand, if China's traditional wooden architecture skills gradually disappear in today's historical trend of globalization and urbanization, then the corresponding architectural content will also gradually stop, especially the lifestyle most related to the villagers and craftsmen will inevitably gradually disappear, which will eventually lead to the complete demise of this unique social culture. Hu Gongmin and Yang Guiting were selected as the representative inheritors of the national intangible cultural heritage project of traditional wooden architecture skills.
