Ancient Chinese architecture carries culture, why the roofs of China's ancient palace buildings have warped flying eaves?

In the Qing Dynasty poet Li Dou's poem describes ? Fragrant Pavilion three five seats, three sides of the flying eaves, covered with various colors of glazed bamboo tiles, dragon ditch phoenix drip. Flying eaves can be described as the history of China's ancient architecture of the gods, both in terms of appearance and practicality, flying eaves are more representative of the culture of the history of architecture.

We can see this in many places? flying eaves? , such as many temples and palaces of the building, will integrate such elements in it. Why China's ancient architecture, there will be warped flying eaves? I think we can analyze from the following points:

One, from the point of view of aesthetics, an eave is warped, the whole roof looks light and natural, less dull, more a little charm. Eaves up, forming a perfect arc, like a bird spreading its wings and flying, so that people feel a sense of beauty. Ancient people for the length of the eaves is also very careful, ? Increase one point is too long, decrease one point is too short? , fully explains the craftsmen of the time for the pursuit of beauty and rigor.

In addition, we carefully observe, the flying eaves also designed some shapes. Some are? Birds? Some of them are flying? Dragon?

In addition to this, we carefully observe the design of some shapes on the eaves, some are flying?

Two, the eaves are favorable for the house light. China's ancient architecture, more deep eaves, in order to allow more light into the house, the ancients used the eaves reverse upward practice, had to praise the wisdom of the craftsmen at the time of the mind.

Three, the eaves upward, can effectively alleviate the situation of rain splash. In contrast to the southern eaves and the northern region of the flying eaves of some differences, the southern rainfall is particularly high, so the building of the flying eaves of the large warped high, the roof of the rain can be thrown as far away as possible (the curve for the parabola is the best), in order to minimize the rain on the basis of the damage to the building.

The flying eaves in the north are not as high as in the south. The eaves themselves are relatively straight, but the flying buttresses are quite prominent. Also, because the north is snowy, the flat eaves do not put pressure on the end shingles when snow accumulates.

The above is why China's ancient buildings will have flying eaves, Chinese culture is profound, the various designs of ancient buildings have a profound impact on human history, it is worthwhile to explore.
