Why are there no architects in ancient times, only craftsmen?

We all know that there was no word "architect" in ancient China. In fact, the word "architect" is a foreign word, which was introduced with some foreign cultures. The word "no architect" actually reflects the important development of China culture and some traditions. There are craftsmen in our country, in fact, craftsmen are architects. I think the craftsman's spirit is embodied in many aspects, which we need to learn and persist in now. If we have the spirit of artisans, our life may be getting better and better now.

So I think it is precisely because of the craftsman spirit that China people with the craftsman spirit can carry forward our own traditional culture more and more, and carry forward our own traditional culture very well. The craftsman spirit actually tells the story of a hard-working spirit of our people. Although not as noble as the architect sounds, the craftsman spirit is actually very important in our country, and people like the word craftsman spirit very much.

In fact, it also describes the hardships of China people from generation to generation. Although China used the word craftsman in ancient times, craftsmen in ancient times usually did some rough work, but now craftsmen have some talents of meticulous work, which have played a very important role in the development of our country. Architects are actually some unnecessary foreign words.

Although there was no word "architect" in ancient China, there were many people who built buildings. We all know that the construction of the Forbidden City was invented by the wisdom of some people in China. I think their profession is nobler and nobler than that of architects, and they also played an important role in China's ancient architecture. I don't think there was a word "architect" at that time, but they have done a great job and can be called better than architects.
