What are the characteristics of China architecture?

One of the characteristics of China's architectural art is: 1, the planning of palaces and capitals is the highest, highlighting the supremacy of imperial power and strict hierarchical concept; 2. Pay special attention to the beauty of group combination, or adopt axisymmetric courtyard layout, or freestyle, the former is the main one; 3. Pay attention to a high degree of harmony with nature and respect nature; 4. Artistic character pays special attention to the pursuit of neutral, simple, inclusive and deep beauty. China's architectural art is the profound embodiment of China people's ethics, aesthetics, values and natural views. In the long process of development, China architecture has always maintained its own unique personality.

Western European and American architecture always emphasizes the eternity and sublimity of architectural art with huge volume and transcendental scale. They have strict geometric figures, and often use domes and minarets with outward feeling to render the vertical strength of houses, forming an appearance feature that stands proudly and opposes nature. Pyramids and temples, the representatives of ancient Egyptian architectural culture, have highlighted this feature. The pyramids are the tombs of Egyptian legalists or nobles. The ancient Egyptians believed in the idea of immortality of the soul, and believed that eternal life could be achieved in the kingdom of heaven by permanently preserving the body after death. Therefore, Egyptian pharaohs had to build pyramids representing eternal beliefs for themselves while they were alive. The pyramids are definitely different from the ancient tombs in China. It does not have the feminine beauty of being "buried underground", nor does it create the rich and gorgeous underground paradise in the underground palace. Instead, it shows an eternal theme in the most concise and powerful geometric form, which will last forever in the world. From the perspective of artistic philosophy, the Geelong Pyramid, located in the suburb of Cairo on the west bank of the Nile, with its huge, simple, concise and stable shape, shows a supernatural and pure masculine beauty in the vast, primitive and simple desert, with a strong memorial-sacred, eternal, solemn and lofty.
