How does the building of China Pavilion of Shanghai World Expo embody the elements of China and express the spirit and temperament of China culture?

The "Crown of the East" of China Pavilion has obvious China characteristics, which combines many China elements and integrates, refines and constitutes them with modern methods. The shape of the National Pavilion also draws lessons from the Ding culture concept in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. A tripod has four legs for support. As a landmark building in the national ceremony, it is not enough to have the shape of a bucket arch, but also to convey a sense of output and authority. This requires four groups of giant columns, like giant four-legged tripod, to lift the China Pavilion above the head, showing a kind of unrestrained momentum, and at the same time to get rid of the sense of oppression of this huge building. These four groups of giant columns are all 18.6 m× 18.6 m, which lifts the upper exhibition hall to form a huge structural space with a clear height of 2 1 m, giving people a "stimulating" visual effect, and the selected inclined bucket arch can better convey a sense of "strength". Through the ingenious combination of giant columns and bucket arches, the stress is reasonably distributed, making the whole building safe, atmospheric, spectacular and full of Chinese style. At the same time, the forward-leaning inverted trapezoidal structure is another challenge to mechanics by modern architecture. The scientific application of traditional building components is another creation of China people, which conveys the idea of the rise of a great country to the world and also shows the cultural confidence of China people to the world. The shape of China Pavilion has the characteristics of iconic, regional and unique, and what color is its appearance is another issue that people pay attention to. So, what color best represents the characteristics of China? Designers will naturally think of "China Red", a color representing joy and inspiration, an atmospheric, steady and classic color. However, red is difficult to use in large buildings. Because of the strong wavelength and glare, jumping may have the feeling of floating and affect the overall image. In fact, China Red is a fuzzy color. Red couplets, red lanterns and red Chinese knots are all called China Red. However, in different historical time and space environments, it presents a variety of aesthetic expressions. For example, there are five kinds of "red" displayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. How to use "China Red" in modern architecture? Therefore, the designer specially invited experts from China Academy of Fine Arts. Through repeated experiments, on-the-spot observation and physical comparison, it was finally agreed that China Pavilion could not use a red color, but borrowed the color of the Forbidden City and adopted various gradations. As a result, China Pavilion has four "faded" red gradations from top to bottom and from deep to shallow, which are traditional and fashionable, enriching the connotation of China Red and making the whole building feel layered and spatial, full of vitality and vigor. Covered with "China Red", China Pavilion conveys festive, auspicious, joyful and harmonious feelings and displays the national character of "enthusiasm, forge ahead and unity". This is another best interpretation of the characteristics of China. The crown of the East, towering into the sky, symbolizes the prosperity of China. The regional pavilion lying flat under the national pavilion has formed a deep supporting state, providing a heavy and solid platform for people's activities. Its layout draws lessons from Gong Yu's territorial generalization, namely "Kyushu" theory. This is also reflected in Yuanmingyuan, and the cultural roots of its cultural concept and spatial awareness can be traced back to Zhouyi. The ingenious layout of national pavilions and regional pavilions, in order of priority, symbolizes the spirit of national unity and implies social prosperity. The air veranda, terrace and garden sketch around the regional pavilion are perfectly connected with each other. The exterior of the building is engraved with overlapping seal characters, and the names of Chinese historical dynasties are printed on the facade outside the corridor, which symbolizes the long history of China culture. On the sketch surface of the circular corridor, the names of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China are also engraved, which symbolizes the unity and cooperation of China with a vast territory and rich resources. All these fully and meticulously reflect the characteristics of China.
