Cultural Connotation of China Architectural Culture

What is the main cultural connotation of traditional architecture in China? Facing the variation of architectural culture in China real estate market, we need to strengthen national self-confidence and cultural introspection. What is the essence of China traditional architectural culture? How to integrate architectural culture in this golden age, and let the Chinese house created by China go to the world and face the future? The real estate industry has made remarkable material achievements, but it is still far from the goal of building an innovative country and building a harmonious society recently put forward by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Various variations in the field of architectural culture have caused serious problems such as ignoring people's feelings in real estate development and breaking architectural cultural traditions. Culture is the soul of architecture. In the new space-time and environment, the research on architectural culture has gone beyond the academic scope, which is not only related to the growth of individuals and enterprises, but also related to the development of the real estate industry, the rise of China architectural culture and even its due positive contribution to the world architectural culture. Reflection is the prelude to summary, and summary is the basis of progress. While reflecting on the variation of contemporary architectural culture in China, it is also an important aspect that cannot be ignored to explore the essence and development of architectural culture tradition in China. One of the three major misunderstandings of China's architectural culture, China's architectural culture is inherently deficient, and it is even more difficult the day after tomorrow. China's architectural culture has a long history in the world architectural system, but due to the long-term bondage of Confucianism and the domination of imperial power politics, the influence of China's architecture in the world is extremely low; In addition, since the Opium War, with the invasion of power economy and politics, the weak tradition of China's architectural culture has been constantly impacted by foreign architectural culture. In the unequal communication between Chinese and foreign architectural cultures, although there have been works with their own characteristics, China's traditional architectural culture, which is congenitally deficient, is as difficult and backward as the fate of the country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many outstanding works were produced, especially the top ten buildings in Beijing from 65438 to 0959, which greatly promoted the architectural cultural tradition of China in theory and practice. However, since then, the criticism of retro-ism, the influence of Russian architectural culture, the years of tightening and adjusting architectural standards during the country's economic difficulties, and the "great criticism" during the Cultural Revolution have all affected the development of architectural culture. Reform and opening up was originally a great opportunity for the development of China's architectural culture, but it was attacked by the "European style"; The serious "green and yellow" makes western architectural culture fill the space for our development. The architectural cultural problems caused by this are not accidental or temporary, but long-term. The second reflection is that the positioning of China's architectural culture industry is still unclear, and there are many misunderstandings. There are many misunderstandings about what China's architectural cultural tradition is and what role it should play in today's urbanization process. Myth 1: China architectural culture is a form, mainly big roofs, porches and yards; If we don't understand the connotation and humanistic spirit of these special architectural forms in China, we will only move some verandas and pavilions on the modern architecture. Myth 2: China's architectural culture is out of date. They admit that China's architectural culture is distinctive, but they think that these traditions are incompatible with modern technology and materials. Therefore, we are hesitant about whether we need to carry forward the tradition. In fact, Mr. Liang Sicheng has long suggested that the culture of every nation in history has produced its own architecture, which declined with the prosperity of culture. Any new culture, including architectural culture, is inseparable from the precipitation and accumulation of history, but it is just a question of how to grasp and inherit it. Third, it is the opposition of the system. Some people think that Chinese and western cultural systems are different, so if we want to build modern architecture, we should not talk about tradition, and we can't have both. This concept is quite common in the real estate industry, and many architects look at the problem this way. Although they were born and raised in China, they received more modern architectural education than traditional architectural culture education. The foundation of architectural tradition is very thin, and they basically like the new and hate the old, lacking architectural culture. The shallow understanding of the new generation of architects will inevitably lead to the pressure of fierce competition in the market, trying to meet the wishes of government leaders and developers, and on the other hand, influenced by "stars" and "masters". Our architectural newspapers, books and reports are full of western architectural culture, and many architects will inevitably be influenced by it and go with the flow. A famous foreign architect once said that there are basically only two kinds of buildings I saw in China: imitation or complete destruction. Foreign counterparts are so deeply aware of the problems existing in China's architectural culture. Now, it's time to reposition China's architectural cultural tradition and get out of many misunderstandings. What is the essence of China traditional architectural culture? Self-reflection, lack of self-improvement consciousness and protection policy of architectural culture. 2 1 century The exchange of Chinese and western architectural culture is essentially different from that in the 1920s and 1930s. We hope to learn from the ready-made development experience of the west directly and accelerate the process of modernization and urbanization. Although we realize that the "wolf" of western architectural culture has come after the opening of WTO, due to the lack of ideological, organizational and policy preparation, we have failed to put forward the construction policy and administrative guidance in time, and how to deal with it and dance with the "wolf" is basically in a passive state. This is an important reason for many of our problems now. Japan started many design competitions as early as 1930s, and the slogan put forward at that time was "to have Japanese characteristics". During the post-war revival, the competent authorities and architects acquired the knowledge that new buildings must inherit Japanese culture. Even though the technology and materials have changed, the essential features of Japanese traditional architecture should be embodied by concrete. In 1980s, under the background of technological innovation, they turned to excavate the core of traditional culture in all directions, upgraded to grasp traditional culture in space, and actively inherited Japanese architectural culture through the study of internal structure. Today, many new buildings in Japan are still actively seeking to maintain the profound characteristics of Japanese architectural culture. It cannot be said that in the development of modern architecture in Japan, policy guidance and protection measures are the key factors for the inheritance of its architectural culture. China and Japan have different histories and different modernization processes. However, if we had the consciousness of cultural consciousness and the spirit of cultural self-improvement before the arrival of the "wolf", once the western architectural culture entered the market with the introduction of foreign capital and technology, we would not lose the competitiveness of our own culture, nor would we have the comparison of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things, and China's architectural culture would be greatly developed in the new round of architectural development. What is the architectural cultural tradition of China? Where is its essence? What traditions are worth learning and carrying forward? In my opinion, it includes: aesthetic principles and architectural forms, advocating the spirit of harmony between man and nature, paying attention to the blending of environment and architecture, and advocating garden landscape principles based on the understanding of natural beauty and human culture. China's traditional culture of putting people first and respecting nature is not backward, but it is similar to the pursuit of western culture. For example, the planning of many of our ancient cities is full of cultural and local characteristics, paying attention to the effective use of the environment and becoming today's attractions. At present, most of our general urban planning and development zones only pay attention to the wide roads and lack individuality. In addition, our traditional architecture, especially residential architecture, shows the virtue of man and nature, which is the ecological and biological theory discussed by modern western architecture; Nowadays, many development projects are driven by political and economic interests and ignore these virtues. In luxurious residential areas and luxurious clubs, most of them are continuing the same pattern and repeating the same idea, which violates the principle of adapting to local conditions and the environment. Today's popular gardening art mostly stays in park-style architecture, which neither explores the ecological balance measures of China gardens nor shapes the spirit of man and nature, resulting in the fracture between gardens and culture. If we get rid of the superstition of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things and re-examine our own traditions, China's architectural culture will have immeasurable room for development. Of course, we are not advocating retro, retrogression, nor advocating the Boxer Rebellion in view of the variation of the existing architectural culture. Instead, we aim to seek the roots and carry forward the traditional architectural culture of China on the basis of extensive collection, so as to start the core competitiveness of contemporary China architectural culture, accumulate national self-confidence, enhance our own platform, and truly change dancing with wolves to attract wolves. To create China's architectural culture, we must introduce western architectural culture. Many architectural cultures that they have precipitated are still affecting us today. However, the cultural achievements of the west in the19th and 20th centuries cannot be a panacea to solve the problems encountered by the current architectural tide in China, let alone a new architectural culture in China. We should take traditional architectural culture as the root and use Chinese and western architectural culture to stimulate our innovation. Shanghai Jinmao Tower won the bid because it opened the charm of the traditional ancient pagoda in China. Recently, a group of courageous developers have opened a series of Chinese-style houses, such as "Watching the Tang Dynasty" and "Jiujiantang", to integrate Chinese and Western cultures, innovate the villa market, and lead the trend of architectural culture in China. On Chang 'an Avenue in Beijing, there are also buildings that interpret the architectural culture of New China. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, I created projects such as Blue Ocean Hotel and China Cultural Center, and I also had an experience: to attract and introduce colorful foreign cultures, nationalization and localization are needed; At the same time, inheriting the architectural cultural tradition needs to be modernized in combination with modern functional requirements and scientific and technological development; Neither should be ignored. Of course, inheriting and developing China's architectural cultural tradition is a cross-century project, with a process from primary to advanced, from simple to complex. We can't expect to blossom everywhere overnight. The rise of culture needs the efforts of several generations. In addition, to innovate China's architectural culture, it is not enough to rely solely on the efforts of architects, especially the support of developers and government departments. It is impossible to make only one effort. Connotation is the hierarchical order of four words. Make me famous. I am still a student, majoring in urban planning, but I studied architecture in the first three years. To tell the truth, I haven't figured out what architecture is yet. I've seen so many masters' works, I don't know how they designed them. When the teacher asked me to do curriculum design, I also did it wherever I wanted. Where are all the Chinese and foreign architectural history we usually study? When we do practical things, those things are just like not learning. When it comes to the cultural connotation of China's ancient buildings, we all know that it is the unity of heaven and man and advocates imperial power, but now! Is there any connotation in the present architecture? There is nothing wrong with architecture, which makes many meaningful architectural works buried. If you are not famous, your work will be changed beyond recognition. I wonder what these people are doing! Connotation? The official level is crushing. This is the connotation! China elements can be extracted from south to north. The essence of China architecture lies in group organization and coordination, which is closely related to the social culture of China. The west is finally outstanding. In the era when the West dominates people's aesthetic values, it is more noticeable than our oriental architecture. It's a pity that people in China seldom see it. I have too little patience to pursue fashion. Let me first declare that I am a clown. What is said upstairs is not overwhelming, and there is no far-sighted vision and ideas. I want to study. Inheriting the culture of our Chinese nation, to put it bluntly, is that today's designers are driven by interests to make every plan, rather than using the culture of the Chinese nation to do it. What we have to do now is to unite all designers and work together. I believe that China will soon be able to make its own buildings with the spirit of the times, which is also an important step to promote human spiritual civilization and material civilization! A very simple example, how to make China people's own things.
