China Architectural Culture Handwritten Newspaper

Architectural culture is an integral part of the whole social culture, and architecture is the carrier of architectural culture, which carries the information of mutual movement among human beings, society, nature and architecture, and the integration of these information is architectural culture.

Architectural culture itself is a branch of generalized culture, and architecture is also a container and comprehensive reflection of other cultures. Cultural diversity, regionality, times and hierarchy will inevitably have a profound impact on the development of architecture. Architectural culture is not only the embodiment of the whole social culture in architectural activities, but also the feedback of architectural activities to social culture. The two promote each other and happen at the same time.

Architectural culture is an important part of human culture. "Architectural culture" is a definition of the general concept of "culture". Its extension is narrower than "culture", but its connotation is richer. Architectural culture is an important part of human culture and a comprehensive reflection of material culture, institutional culture, spiritual culture and symbolic culture. It comes into being with the appearance of human beings and develops with the development of human society. It also has historical, ethnic and local characteristics. For example, the two houses are quadrangles in the northern plain, caves in the loess plateau, houses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast, and tulou in Fujian. There are also great differences between Qiang villages and Tibetan houses in the Minjiang River basin.

According to the structure of cultural elements, architectural culture can be divided into three different levels: material level, spiritual level and psychological level.

The material layer of superficial form refers to the materialized form of material culture and spiritual culture created by human beings, such as architecture and material environment.

The psychological layer of intermediate form refers to the representation of spiritual form, such as architectural technology, architectural system, architectural language, architectural art, creative theory and so on.

The deep psychological layer refers to the group mentality of a certain culture as a whole, such as ethics, religious beliefs, folk customs, values and so on. The psychological layer directly guides the change of the middle layer. The connotation of architectural culture is a group of psychological factors, such as architectural thought, architectural concept, architectural consciousness, architectural emotion, architectural concept and architectural ideological trend.
