What are the names of the gates of ancient houses in China? What's the point? For example, Ruyi Gate and Man Zi Gate.

1, Man Zi Gate is a kind of residential gate in Beijing Siheyuan. Its shape is lower than Liangguang Gate and Zhu Jin Gate, but higher than Ruyi Gate. It is a kind of house door commonly used by wealthy businessmen. Man Zi door is a kind of house door with sill frame, plug and door leaf between the front eaves and columns, and there is no room outside the door leaf.

2. Zhu Jin Gate is a kind of curtilage gate whose shape is slightly lower than that of Liang Guangmen, and it is also a form of curtilage gate adopted by bureaucrats with a certain level. In terms of scale, Zhu Jin Gate is obviously smaller than Liangguang Gate, and the doors are very narrow, and some doors are only half open.

3. Liang Guangmen, also known as Liang Guangmen, is a kind of courtyard gate, belonging to the house-style gate, which is second only to Wang Fu Gate and higher than Zhu Jin Gate in rank, and is a form of house-style gate adopted by bureaucrats with considerable rank.

Its important feature is that Fangshan has a central column with a wooden frame on it. In the picture, there is half a room in front of the painting door, and all the beams are exposed, so it is called "Liang Guangmen".

Building type

Ruyimen, a kind of house door, is mostly used by ordinary people. Although its shape is not high, it is not limited by grade and can be decorated at will. It can be beautifully carved or made very concise, depending on the owner's interest and economic situation.

For well-made doors, a large area of brick carving should be carried out above the lintel, and most of the brick carving is in the form of railings facing the sky. The names of its parts are hanging down, first floor eaves, mixed beads, semi-mixed, cover plate and column from bottom to top. In these parts, according to the owner's preference or traditional decorative content, patterns such as flowers, Bo Gu, swastika, chrysanthemum brocade, bamboo leaf brocade, peony flower, T-shaped brocade and grass bend are carved respectively.

If the owner lacks financial resources, or prefers simplicity and elegance, he can do simple work, or just add a little carving as an ornament. Simple people can also use tiles to put out various patterns. In a word, the various forms fully reflect the randomness of Ruyimen decoration and show the wisdom and artistic talent of ancient working people.
