Describe the characteristics of Chinese architecture and analyze the influence of traditional Chinese culture on Chinese architecture.

Chinese architecture is an independent structural system with a long history and a vast area. In military, political and ideological terms, although China has often been in contact with other peoples, the basic structure of architecture and the principles of its deployment have only been subject to gentle change and sequential progression, and have not been influenced by other architectures until the last half-century. Thousands of years without sudden changes in the traces of the phenomenon of mingling, has always been its unique pure wood system, with my national footprints, set up a cultural table Zhi, the metropolitan border, whether it is a county of the male, or a village of the remote, the size of the establishment, or for the people of China's residence of the support, or for my political, religious, national defense, the economy of the system, from the weight of the culture and spirit, down to the clothing, horses, crafts, utensils of the fine, and not with it. The personality of Chinese architecture is that of my nation. The personality of Chinese architecture is my national character, that is, my art and thought of a special part, not only in the structure of the material method itself.

There are two factors that contribute to the formation of the distinctive features of a building: those that are part of the technical approach and development of the physical structure, and those that are due to the tendency of the environmental thought. These various characteristics, the architectural history of the first thing to grasp, to understand, so as not to confuse a series of building its own advantages and disadvantages of the criteria, not confused in other times and other architectural similarities and differences with me. The history of Chinese architecture is a matter of concern for those who are interested in it, so that they can have a correct point of view on Chinese buildings, and will not make a biased judgment.

The main features of Chinese architecture

The reason for the formation of significant features of architecture is due to two factors: some of them belong to the physical and structural technology and development, and some of them are due to the tendency of environmental thinking. In this regard, the history of architecture must be grasped and understood in order not to confuse the criteria of the advantages and disadvantages of architecture and not to be confused by the differences and similarities between the architecture of other peoples at other times and mine. The history of Chinese architecture is a matter of concern for those who are interested in it, so that they can have a correct point of view on Chinese buildings, and will not make a biased judgment.

The main features of Chinese architecture are summarized in the following four points which can be noted: (1) wood is the main material of construction; (2) the structural principle of the frame system is always used. Since wood is the main material, this structural principle is the "beam and column building" of the "frame system"; (3) the arch as the key to the structure, and as a unit of measurement In the wooden frame of the transition between the beams and columns, the transverse square wood stacked on top of each other, and the front and back out for the "arch". "Arch", and the roof structure has a close relationship with its function in the arch to extend to bear the load of the upper structure, transferred to the lower part of the columns, so for large buildings must be used. (D) The special external contour of the external characteristics of the obvious, very different from other systems of architecture, is the cause of its own style of the special elements. The external outline of Chinese architecture gives people a beautiful impression and is attractive.

Two, belonging to the environmental ideology, which is very different from the historical background of other buildings, at least the following four can be noted: (1) the concept of not seeking the survival of the original; (2) the construction activities are subject to the sanctions of the concept of morality; (3) the emphasis on the layout of the rules; (4) the art of construction, the teacher and the apprentice, rather than books

The Chinese architecture of the past, the Chinese architecture of the present, the Chinese architecture of the future, the Chinese architecture of the present and the Chinese architecture of the present.
