The design of the Chinese Pavilion at the World Expo embodies what content of etiquette and indoctrination?

The China Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, with the theme of Chinese wisdom in urban development, demonstrates the spirit and temperament of Chinese culture, which is "the crown of the Orient, the flourishing China, the world's breadbasket, and the affluent people". The display of the pavilion is based on the main line of "search", leading visitors to walk in the "Oriental Footprints", "Journey of Search", "Low Carbon Action" three exhibition areas, in the "Oriental Footprints", "Journey of Search", "Low Carbon Action" and "Low Carbon Action". The pavilion takes visitors on a journey through the three exhibition areas of "Oriental Footprints", "Journey of Seeking" and "Low Carbon Action", where they can discover and realize the Chinese wisdom in urban development through "Seeking". Starting from the contemporary era, the pavilion reviews the process of urbanization in China over the past three decades, highlights the scale and achievements of urbanization in China over the past three decades, and traces back and explores the heritage and traditions of Chinese cities. Then, a long "Wisdom Journey" leads visitors to the future, to realize the future path of urban development based on Chinese values and development concepts.

Design Idea

The crown of the Orient, the flourishing China, the world's breadbasket, the affluent people.

Main Idea

The architectural appearance of the Chinese Pavilion is based on the idea of the "Crown of the Orient", which expresses the spirit and temperament of Chinese culture. In addition to the National Pavilion's "Crown of the Orient", which integrates elements of traditional Chinese architecture and culture, the design of the Regional Pavilions is also very rich in Chinese flavor and draws on many traditional elements of ancient China. The Regional Pavilions use the "stacked seal script" to convey information about China's human history and geography. On the fa?ade of the National Pavilion (17 pictures), the 34 characters of the names of the traditional Chinese dynasties will be printed in stacked seal script, symbolizing the long history and culture of China; and on the surface of the facilities in the corridor for visitors to stay and rest, the names of the provinces, municipalities and districts will be engraved with 34 characters, symbolizing that China's vastness of the world and the unity of the various regions **** with the enterprising spirit.

Chinese elements

1) "China Red" show the national image Red appearance, arch shape - Shanghai World Expo China National Pavilion, is 5,000 years of Chinese civilization dedicated to the 159 years of history of the World Expo! "China Red", is to adhere to the reform and opening up of China presented to the world "China Red". "We call her 'China Red'." Every time we meet foreign guests, the director of the China Pavilion, Xu Hubin, will proudly say, "This is from the ancient Chinese architectural construction laws, especially the red color of the Forbidden City, collected. (2) very Chinese characteristics of the "Crown of the Orient" design Shanghai World Expo China Pavilion

Chinese Pavilion to the "urban development of Chinese wisdom" as the theme, due to the appearance of an ancient hat, and was named The Chinese Pavilion is named "The Crown of the Orient" because of its resemblance to an ancient hat. (3) Seal Characters of the 24 Solar Terms are printed on it, which not only highlights the simplicity of the "Crown", but also allows people to recognize the 48 characters with great interest. (4) Roof garden: "The New Jiuzhou Qingyan" is showing its first appearance The Jiuzhou Qingyan was originally a landscape design in the Yuanmingyuan, and the designers "transplanted" it around the National Pavilion to become the landscape of the National Pavilion. After the redesign, the new "Kyushu feast" - fields, zephyrs, fishermen, ridges, forests, meadows, ravines, deserts in a half-moon shape around the "Crown of the Orient" (Yong), the cityscape and the natural landscape *** with the integration of The cityscape and natural landscape **** together, very worthwhile tour.

Cultural Connotation

The China Pavilion combines ancient Chinese construction rules and modern design concepts, interprets the Eastern philosophical thinking of "unity of man and heaven, harmony **** life", and shows the beauty of art, strength, tradition and modernity, which is the best expression of Chinese culture.

The inheritance and translation of traditional culture

"The Crown of the Orient" is located at the prominent position of the main entrance of the Pudong area of the Expo Park, in the visual center of the intersection of the north-south and east-west axes, with a total architectural area of 160,000 square meters, consisting of the National Pavilion and the Regional Pavilion. The National Pavilion rises up in the center, shaped like a crown, stacked out of the pick, the system is like an arch. It has four thick square pillars, holding up the main building in the shape of a bucket. The arch is stacked on top of one another in a well-organized manner, and the tighter it is held, the more fragmented it seems to be, but it has an incalculable carrying capacity, and can hold up a thousand pounds. The biggest advantage is the structural mechanism of "hallowed and dignified, magnificent", 4 large pillars to support a "bucket crown", the bucket crown by 56 (symbolizing the 56 nationalities) beams with the help of the arch of the arch of the lower small on top of the principle of the superposition of the large. It symbolizes the idea of the Chinese people that "as long as we are united, there is nothing we can't do". The arch is a very symbolic and stimulating image, and I think the Chinese people would like to give it this meaning. At the same time, foreigners coming to the Expo will know it is Chinese at a glance. There are three major architectural systems in the world, and only ancient Chinese architecture has adopted the arch in an extremely intelligent way. The arch is a peculiar component of China's traditional wooden architecture, which appeared as early as the 5th century BC. It overhangs the eaves and stacks them in layers, transferring the force of the eaves evenly to the columns, with the purpose of enlarging the eaves and making them beautiful. This form has been used in the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the Wooden Pagoda in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province, and the Bell and Drum Towers in Xi'an. The arch is both a load-bearing component and an artistic component, and its application makes the building form the posture of "like a bird, like a bird, like a bird, like a bird, like a bird, like a bird". The traditional construction of the arch, "mortise and tenon interspersed with layers of picks", has become the cultural expression of the architectural form of the China Pavilion. Academician He Jingtang, chief designer of the China Pavilion, believes that "Chinese culture has a long history and it is difficult to express the essence of culture with a single image, so it must be extracted from the overall imagery." In order to choose a reasonable shape, they went from Chinese paintings to carvings, from unearthed relics to Jiangnan gardens, from hieroglyphics to Peking Opera faces, every cultural symbol seemed to be a part of Chinese culture, but every symbol seemed to fall short of the ideal in their mind. After much pondering, the arch in traditional Chinese architecture is a great inspiration for architects, so they decided to start from it and finally succeeded. In ancient times, the arch could protrude up to 4 meters from the eaves of the roof, while modern buildings use steel and concrete, which can be used to greater advantage. During the construction process, the China Pavilion made a pioneering interpretation of traditional elements and boldly innovated, straightening the traditional curves and layers, with the shortest part of the arch sticking out at 45 meters, and the most slanted part at 49 meters, so that the main shape shows the beauty of the strength and structure of modern engineering technology. These minimalist decorative lines naturally complete the contemporary expression of traditional architecture. If you look down on the design of the China Pavilion, you will see that the top plane is a grid structure with clear latitude and longitude, which is inspired by the layout of the chessboard of the ancient Chinese city, the so-called "Nine Palace Grids" structure, echoing the historical Tang Chang'an City, the Imperial City and the Forbidden City. Its cultural heritage comes from the theory of the shape of the royal city of the Zhou Dynasty, the "Zhou Rites - Kaogong Ji" cloud: "craftsmen camping country, square nine miles, next to the three gates, the country of the nine warps and nine latitudes, through the coating of the nine rails." Designers in the Chinese culture of this rich mine to find bronze, ceramics, and so on, and from the Chinese traditional architecture of the nine palace grid to draw inspiration, and finally on the arch of this traditional building components for the refinement of the design to "China's ware" to start, and later named "Oriental Champion "The building itself incorporates Chinese philosophical thinking. The building itself incorporates Chinese philosophical ideas such as "unity of heaven and man", "harmony***sheng", and "the law of nature". The overall layout of the National Pavilion and Regional Pavilions is a metaphor for the desire for "harmony between heaven and earth, and the savory prosperity of all things", showing the vision of an ideal social environment for human habitation, which is consistent with the slogan of this year's World Expo. The construction of the China Pavilion not only absorbs traditional cultural nutrition, but also pioneers and innovates, so that its shape is majestic and powerful, like a Chinese crown towering, with modern consciousness, in line with the contemporary international aesthetic tendency of the high level.

Chinese characteristics of the embodiment and expression

Chinese Pavilion "Crown of the Orient" has obvious Chinese characteristics, which combines a variety of Chinese elements, and with modern methods to integrate, refine and constitute the Chinese National Pavilion

[2] National Pavilion modeling also draws on the Xia, Shang and Zhou period tripod culture concept. The concept. The tripod has four feet and plays a supporting role. As a landmark building in the national ceremony, the shape of the arch is not enough, but also to convey a sense of power and authority, which requires the use of four groups of giant columns, like a giant four-legged tripod will be the China Pavilion elevated in the air, showing the momentum of the upright and exuberant, and at the same time make this huge building free from the sense of oppression. These four groups of giant columns are 18.6 meters x 18.6 meters, the upper exhibition hall will be lifted up to form a 21-meter net height of the giant structure of the space, giving people a kind of "uplifting" visual effect, and pick out the forward tilting of the arch can also convey a kind of "power" feeling. Through the skillful combination of giant columns and arches, the force is reasonably distributed, making the whole building stable, atmospheric, spectacular, and extremely rich in Chinese style. At the same time, the inverted trapezoidal structure tilted forward is another challenge to the mechanics of modern architecture. The scientific use of traditional building components is another creation of the Chinese, which conveys to the world the concept of the rise of a great nation and shows the cultural confidence of the Chinese. The shape of the China Pavilion has the characteristics of iconicity, locality and uniqueness, and what color is its appearance, which is again a matter of concern. So, what color can best represent Chinese characteristics? The designers naturally thought of "Chinese red", a color that represents joy and inspiration, an atmospheric, stable and classic color. However, red is very difficult to use in large buildings, due to the strong wavelength of red, blinding and jumping, or will have a feeling of floating up, thus affecting the overall image. In fact, Chinese red is a vague concept of color, big red couplets, red lanterns, red Chinese knot, these are called Chinese red. However, in different historical time and space environment, it presents a variety of aesthetic expression. Such as the Forbidden City, Taihe Temple to show the "red" on up to five kinds of how to use the modern building in a good "Chinese red" it? To this end, the designers specifically invited to the China Academy of Art Research Institute of experts, through repeated tests, on-site observation, physical comparison, and finally agreed that the China Pavilion is not possible to use a red, but borrowed the color of the Forbidden City red, to take a variety of gradient. Thus, there is the appearance of the China Pavilion from top to bottom, from deep to light four kinds of red "halo" gradient, above a little heavier, a little lighter below, both traditional and fashionable, rich in the connotation of Chinese red, so that the whole building presents a sense of hierarchy and sense of space, extremely angry and energetic. The China Pavilion is draped in "Chinese red", conveying the emotions of celebration, auspiciousness, joy and harmony, and displaying the national character of "enthusiasm, progress and unity". This is another best interpretation of Chinese characteristics. The crown of the Orient rises high, symbolizing the heyday and prosperity of China. The regional pavilions lying under the National Pavilion form a deep dependence, providing a heavy and solid platform for people's activities. Its layout draws on the generalization of the boundaries of the "Yugong", i.e. the "nine states". This is also reflected in the Yuanmingyuan, whose cultural concepts and spatial awareness can be traced back to the Zhouyi. The clever layout of the National Pavilion and the Regional Pavilion, with its orderly order of priorities, symbolizes the spirit of national unification and implies that the community is rich and affluent in all directions. The sky corridors, steps and garden vignettes around the Regional Pavilion, which are naturally turned, are perfectly connected with each other. The exterior of the building is engraved with the characters of stacked seal scripts, and the names of Chinese dynasties are printed on the exterior fa?ade of the ring corridor, symbolizing the long history of Chinese culture. On the surface of the vignettes in the corridor, the names of provinces, cities and autonomous regions are also engraved, symbolizing the vastness of China and the unity and cooperation between different regions. All these are comprehensive and detailed expressions of Chinese characteristics.

The spirit of the times is manifested and carried forward

The majestic China Pavilion is 63 meters high, equivalent to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an (64 meters), which is extremely shocking and visually striking. Its shape is like a tripod and a huge wine cup, raised high to welcome friends from all over the world; at the same time, it is like a roc with its wings spreading, rising up to the sky, signaling that China will soar for miles and dominate the world. China Pavilion building with the times, in line with the trend of the times. In the face of the upcoming World Expo to be held on Chinese soil, the Chinese Pavilion has submitted a "declaration of the times" expressed in architecture. Through the modern interpretation of Chinese elements, the Chinese Pavilion shows the world a vibrant, harmonious development of modern China. Huaguan towering National Pavilion, the lower 33 meters completely open, these centers symmetrical space and the flat extension of the regional pavilion space, for people to communicate with leisure provides a full open space. Specifically, there are four major communication platforms, and these four platforms are reflecting the important concepts of modern international architectural design, i.e., openness and public ****, reflecting the spirit of the times. In the 21st century, environmental and energy issues are real problems in the process of urbanization, and the construction of the China Pavilion reveals the message of environmental protection and energy saving everywhere. The exterior wall materials use non-radioactive and non-polluting green products; all pipelines and subway vents are cleverly hidden within the building; the landscape deck on the top floor of the National Pavilion uses state-of-the-art solar panels, which store sunlight and convert it into electricity, which can realize that the lighting of the China Pavilion is entirely self-sufficient; there is also a rainwater collection and treatment system, where rainwater is used to wash toilets and vehicles through purification; the surface of the Regional Pavilion is also designed to have a climatic buffer zone. The roof uses ecological agricultural landscape technology, with a soil cover of up to 1.5 meters, which can realize effective heat insulation and energy savings of more than 10%; in the water landscape of the large steps on the south side of the Regional Pavilion and the garden design of the southern side, the small-scale artificial wetland technology is introduced, which can provide ecological landscapes for the localized urban areas without the need for a large amount of land. The majestic and towering China Pavilion of the World Expo illustrates China's unique architectural aesthetics, embodies the heavy Chinese culture, expresses the openness of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and shows the Chinese wisdom of urban development. The crown of the East, Chinese tradition, Chinese characteristics, Chinese spirit.
