What is the role of painting in architecture?

Color plays an important role in the wooden buildings in China. Roof tile, beam Fang color painting, column oil decoration, wall surface and abutment are made of different materials and colors, which have a touching appearance effect under proper contrast.

Compared with the previous generation, the painting work of the wooden structure in the late feudal period was further developed, and there were mature practices and regulations from foundation treatment to surface painting. In addition to the decorative effect, the use of oil decorative painting on the column frame also plays a role in protecting wood and reducing the impact of wind and rain erosion.
