What are the achievements of ancient wooden buildings in China?

Structurally, the most outstanding achievement is the creation and application of the "bucket arch", which can be said to be the most striking part of the wood structure building and a key point in the development of China architecture.

Judging from the works, the "architectural style" of the Song Dynasty can be said to cover all aspects of wooden buildings, which has made great contributions to the architectural development of China and even East Asian countries, and is also an indispensable material for studying ancient buildings today.

The remaining wooden buildings are mainly from the Tang Dynasty. The "Nanchan Temple Hall" in Wutai Mountain has been built for the longest time so far, and then there are the East Hall of Beigao Temple, the Hualin Temple Hall in Fuzhou, the Guanyin Pavilion of Dule Temple, the Sakya Pagoda of Yingxian Buddhist Temple (the tallest and oldest all-wood high-rise tower building in the world), Qutan Temple in Qinghai (China Yonghe Palace), the Wanfu Hall of Yonghe Palace (the Buddha Hall that continues the Tang and Song Dynasties) and the Daxiong Hall in Beihai.
