What is the construction method of traditional materials?

China's architectural art is exquisite, and different architectural styles in different regions are exquisite. However, the materials of these ancient buildings in China are mostly wood, and the structures are mostly wood structures.

We can see many magnificent and exquisite palaces in costume dramas. Most of these beautiful palaces are made of wood and tiles. The working people in ancient China were very clever and good at using local materials. Craftsmen used a large number of widely distributed timber to build beautiful houses. Building a house with wood is a very correct choice. At that time, China was rich in forest resources, and it was easy to collect raw materials for building houses. In addition, wood is very easy to process and can be made into various beautiful forms, which is why we often see carved beams and painted buildings in TV dramas. In addition, the use of wood to build houses is also earthquake-resistant. In the event of an earthquake, wooden houses are lighter, which can reduce casualties to a greater extent.

Houses made of wood and brick are especially common in the south, because trees grow more luxuriantly in the south, which is a famous water town. When the rainy season comes, bricks can make the running water smoother, the roof is not easy to accumulate water, and the wooden house is easier to absorb moisture, so it is not easy to get wet everywhere.

A wooden frame is the skeleton of a house made of wooden materials. The wooden skeleton of the house is very light, which is easy to carry and build the prototype of the house. The wooden frame has two structural modes: hanging beam and crossing bucket. Stacking wooden materials from bottom to top can form a group of wooden frames with hanging beams.

China ancient culture has a profound historical background, which also contains wisdom and labor experience. Housing construction also reflects the creativity of working people in ancient China. China's ancient architectural art is not only unique in the art field of China, but also contributes to the development of world art, and the ancient wooden architecture also has a far-reaching impact on the development of modern architecture.
