What is the difference between the design ideas of temples, palaces and tombs?

1 Tanmiao is a memorial building used by the ancients to worship the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, mountains and rivers, ancestors, sages and gods. Sacrificial architecture occupies an important position in the construction of the imperial capital, and it must be built with the highest technical level and the most perfect art by concentrating manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The design idea is the traditional world outlook that implies "the sky is round and the place is round".

2 Design idea of the palace: The palace is the place where emperors meet and live, with grand scale, grand image and rigorous pattern, which gives people a strong spiritual infection and highlights the dignity of the royal power. China's traditional culture pays attention to consolidating human order. Unlike western and Islamic architecture, which is dominated by religious architecture, the Forbidden City is the most accomplished and largest building in China. From the primitive society to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the germination of the palace experienced a chaotic and inseparable stage, integrating the functions of residence, gathering and sacrifice, and developing from the function of sacrifice to differentiation, only used for the gathering and residence of the king's concubines. In the palace, the palace often stands by the city, the central axis is symmetrical, and the regular urban pattern highlights the status of the palace in the capital.

3 Mausoleum design ideas: There are three kinds.

Layout with Lingshan as the main body

Represented by the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Its paddock is bucket-shaped, surrounded by city walls and backed by Mount Li, with simple outline and magnificent weather, creating a commemorative atmosphere.

Second, the axis layout mode running through the whole world with Shinto.

This layout emphasizes positive Shinto. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the Gaozong Ganling was dominated by mountain peaks, and the front was decorated with quemen, stone statues, inscriptions and huabiao, forming a Shinto. Build a pavilion in front of Shinto. Using the ups and downs of Shinto and the spatial changes of opening and closing, the grand spirit of mausoleum architecture is set off.

Third, the layout of building groups.

In Ming and Qing Dynasties, the closed environment surrounded by mountains was chosen as the mausoleum area, and all the tombs were arranged in one place harmoniously. Archway, Dahongmen, Monument Pavilion, etc. All of them have joined Shinto, and the architecture and environment are closely combined to create a solemn environment.
