What do you think of the traditional architecture in China?

The drawing of ancient architecture in China usually adopts scattered perspective method, that is, all parts of the building are drawn on the drawing with a fixed viewpoint as the center and according to the actual size and relative position. The advantage of this perspective method is that it can accurately reflect the actual size and relative position of the building, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to intuitively reflect the three-dimensional effect of the building.

However, craftsmen in ancient China were able to accurately build various complex buildings for the following reasons:

Experience accumulation: Through long-term practice and experience accumulation, craftsmen in ancient China have mastered many practical skills and laws, and can accurately grasp the size and relative position of buildings. Templates and molds: When building a building, craftsmen usually use templates and molds to make various components to ensure that their sizes and shapes meet the requirements. These templates and molds are usually made on previously built buildings, which have certain accuracy and reliability. Measuring tools: Ancient craftsmen in China used various measuring tools to measure the size and relative position of buildings, such as Mo Dou, pendant and ruler. Using these tools can ensure that all parts of the building are assembled according to the specified size and relative position. To sum up, the craftsmen in ancient China were able to build all kinds of complex buildings accurately because of their long-term accumulated practical experience, using templates and molds to make components, and using various measuring tools to ensure the accuracy of building size and relative position.
