Why are all Japanese buildings in Tang Dynasty style?

Because the buildings in the Tang Dynasty in China were not well preserved, eroded by wind and rain, and destroyed by war, there were only four wooden buildings in the Tang Dynasty in Shanxi Province, but because they were not well protected, although they were Tang-style buildings, they didn't look very brilliant because they were too shabby.

Japan loves the culture of China very much, so it has learned a lot of architecture in the Tang Dynasty. When they went back, they saved a lot of information about Tang Dynasty architecture. Finally, according to these materials, many buildings in Tang dynasty style were built, and they were beautifully built and well preserved.

There are many Tang Dynasty buildings and antique buildings in Japan, which are particularly exquisite, but they also retain the charm of China in the past. Therefore, these ancient buildings in tang style can only be truly appreciated in Japan. There are many such buildings in Kyoto and Nara of Japan. They even built the structure of Chang 'an City in their own country. Although it is not as big as Chang 'an in China, because of the color of China and the charm of China, even a smaller version of Chang 'an can show the prosperous scene at that time.

Japanese architecture has the shadow of China, because Japan is a country that likes China culture, and most buildings in Japan use wooden materials, not only because Japan is an earthquake-prone country, but also because wooden materials are often used in ancient China, and houses built with wooden materials are very solid and stable, so Japan learns this technology and makes a contribution to its own country. Due to the climate in Japan, some buildings in Japan are well preserved.

These buildings have been handed down from generation to generation in Japan, and they are also regarded as national treasures in Japan, which shows the exquisite situation of architecture in the Tang Dynasty.
