Living rooms, palaces and temples of China buildings, that is, different kinds of buildings, are mostly the same configuration. They are all big houses in the middle, with a yard in front and symmetrical rooms around the yard. It seems that we don't pay attention to the individuality of architecture, but this is actually the characteristic of China architecture.

China's architecture has long paid attention to "generality" and "standardization", which is in sharp contrast with western architecture's emphasis on "speciality". Therefore, there is little difference between the official residence and the mansion; Private houses can be donated to temples for religious enthusiasm. In other words, the place where God lives and the house where people live are very flexible in China people's concept.
