What is the development of architectural modeling in China?

There are many new developments in the modeling of single buildings and wooden structures in the Northern Song Dynasty on the basis of the Tang and Five Dynasties. First of all, the width of the house generally narrows from the bright room in the center to the left and right sides, forming a distinctive appearance. Secondly, the proportion of columns increases, the bay becomes rectangular, and the bucket is relatively reduced. At the same time, patchwork was added, and its artistic effect was quite different from that of Tang Dynasty. In addition to the changes in architectural modeling, the changes in decoration also have a great impact on modeling. Buildings in this period used a lot of doors and windows, which could be opened, and the bar combination was extremely rich. Compared with the plank doors and straight bars in Tang and Liao dynasties, the exterior of the building has changed greatly, and the indoor ventilation and lighting have improved. There is a beautifully carved Mount Sumi in the lower part of the house. The form of column foundation also presents colorful grand occasion; In addition to circular, square and octagonal columns, there are melon-shaped columns, and the number of stone columns has greatly increased, and their surfaces are often engraved with various patterns.
