The auditorium embodies three characteristics of ancient buildings in China: First, the ancient wooden structure in China cannot be very large due to the limitation of wood length, thickness, flammability and perishable. In addition to the use of high terrain and huge abutment, it also relies on the organic combination of groups to achieve magnificent artistic effects. The people's auditorium is not only high in terrain, but also wide and solid in abutment. Secondly, the ancient buildings in China mainly take the courtyard surrounded by buildings as the unit, and they are connected in series and in parallel into ever-changing buildings through obvious axis relationship. Third, there should be a proportion of ancient buildings. The graceful and soft curves and slightly upturned cornices of the roof of the auditorium make the big hat roof that should have been pressed down show the feeling of upward support with the twists and turns of the lines. The generous body and wide abutment make the whole building stable and practical, reflecting the solemn beauty.
