What are the characteristics of traditional architecture in China?

Compared with European ancient architectural art, China ancient architectural art has three basic characteristics:

① the unity of aesthetic value and political and ethical value. Buildings with high artistic value also play a role in maintaining and strengthening social, political and ethical systems and ideology.

② rooted in profound traditional culture, it shows a distinct humanistic spirit. All the elements of architectural art, such as scale, rhythm, composition, form, character and style, are based on the aesthetic psychology of contemporary people, which can be appreciated and understood by people, and there is no ups and downs, weird and incomprehensible image.

③ it is overall and comprehensive. Ancient excellent architectural works almost all mobilized all the factors and techniques that might constitute architectural art at that time to form a whole image. From the overall environment to a single house, from the external sequence to the internal space, from color decoration to affiliated art, every part is not dispensable, and if one of them is removed, the overall effect will be damaged.
