Lack of traditional architectural design books

Nowadays, we are all shocked by the ancient buildings left behind, because they not only look antique, but also are very exquisite. After these ancient buildings were preserved, they became the current tourist attractions. In fact, the conditions in ancient times were very poor, and there were few architects. However, the level of architectural design in China is getting higher and higher, so at first glance it is unreasonable. However, after careful scrutiny, it will be found that the level of architectural design in China is getting higher and higher, which is related to the records of ancient documents and the level of craftsmen.

In fact, there were architects in ancient China, but in ancient times, architects generally served dignitaries. After all, they needed to repair their houses, so there was little demand for architects in ancient times, even in times of frequent wars. Even so, when the emperor built the capital, he still needed architects to design and build the palace, so the drawings and necessary things of these buildings were recorded in words, especially the families of the architects, who kept these documents and materials, innovated and improved them on this basis, and finally became the things at the bottom of the closet.

The lack of ancient architects is also related to the fact that this profession is not respected. On the contrary, craftsmen who build houses in the private sector are paid more attention, which has caused many people to learn the skills of building houses in order to support their families. In order to stand out from the fierce competition, these craftsmen constantly improve their skills. Over time, I have some experience in some architectural designs. And under the great national integration, craftsmen absorbed the characteristics of various national buildings, making the buildings built more and more beautiful.

Although China has not formed a systematic concept of architecture, the development of architecture in China lags far behind that of western architecture. However, China has a long history, and the literature on ancient buildings is well preserved. Therefore, under the development of modern architecture, combined with the precious materials of ancient buildings, China's architecture will get new development.
