What are the characteristics of traditional Chinese decorative style?

Characteristics of traditional Chinese decorative style: traditional Chinese architecture has a simple and elegant style, mainly using thatch, wood, brick and tile as building materials, and wooden architecture as the structural method (columns, beams, square, purlins, rafters and other components), which are combined together in accordance with the actual size, shape and spacing of the structural needs. This way of building structure reflects the clarity, order and stability of the ancient patriarchal social structure. Since beams and pillars made of wooden materials could not easily form a huge internal space, ancient buildings skillfully utilized the natural space of the outer ports to form courtyards. Courtyard is the basic unit of construction, it is both closed, but also open; both artificial, but also natural, can be planted overlooking flowers and trees, look up to the wind and clouds and the sun and the moon, the ancients became the "unity of man and nature" concept of another manifestation of the Chinese people are both subtle and introverted, but also pioneering and progressive character of the nation. Ancient slightly larger buildings are composed of a number of courtyards of the complex, individual buildings and courtyards arranged along a certain direction, there are primary and secondary, there are key transitions, become a hierarchy, there is a depth of space, showing a kind of Chinese pursuit of the overall beauty and depth of the United States. One of the palaces, temples, a kind of more solemn buildings, often along the central axis of a vertical arrangement of the main buildings, the two sides of the symmetrical arrangement of secondary buildings, the layout of a balanced stretch, fascinating.
