The basic features of the exterior modeling of ancient Chinese buildings

The basic features of the exterior modeling of ancient Chinese buildings are large roofs and three-part style.

One of the rules for the exterior modeling of a single Chinese building is that each individual building is in one way, that is, in three segments: the roof, the body of the roof, and the pediment. And the roof is the most characteristic part of the ancient Chinese architecture, i.e. the big roof. In this way, ancient Chinese architecture is characterized by big roofs and three sections.

The roofs of ancient Chinese buildings have various shapes, or styles. There are eight kinds of roofs, including hipped roof, hipped roof, overhanging roof, hard roof, rolled roof, pointed roof, box roof and helmet roof. This is the nationally recognized and most common.

However, across the country, there are different regional styles. For example, in the northeast, there is the hoard roof, which is slightly arched. The northwest has flat roofs. Some parts of Shaanxi and Shanxi have single slopes. In the south, there are various shapes of fire-sealing walls.

In fact, the eight most common ones are different across the country. For example, in the north, the heshan roof building, the slope of the roof is more gentle, the rise is also slower. While in the south, the corner of the roof of the heshan, the corner of the roof is cocked very high.
