Ancient Chinese architecture has no influence on foreign architecture

Ancient Chinese architectural art developed in feudal society, it is the longest history in the world, the widest geographical distribution, the style of a very distinctive art system, with the Han wooden architecture as the main body, including the excellent architecture of various ethnic minorities. Ancient Chinese architecture had a direct influence on the ancient architecture of Japan, Korea and Vietnam, and after the 17th century, it also had an influence on Europe.

Japanese culture was y influenced by Chinese culture, and the form of architecture was no exception, especially in the Middle Ages. It can be divided into three major styles, namely, Japanese architecture, Tang architecture, and Tennessee architecture. The so-called Tang-style architecture is the architectural style that originated from the Song and Yuan dynasties in China. In the Song and Yuan cultures, Zen Buddhism had the greatest influence on Japan's Middle Ages culture, so Tang-style architecture is also known as Zen-style architecture. At this time, the introduction of Chinese culture not only enriched the Japanese religious culture, but also made Japan's architectural culture into a new era. It also made the various artistic expressions of Japan, whether it is architecture, gardens, traditional tea ceremony, and even the performance of Noh theater are filled with a high degree of Zen, creating a silent and full of meditation space, so that the human heart is more clear and simple.

Korean classical gardens, can not help but mention the Korean Peninsula and China since ancient times over ten centuries of history of interaction. China and the Korean Peninsula can be traced back to before the Han Dynasty, especially frequent between the Tang and Song dynasties, in China during the Tang Dynasty, South Korea comprehensively absorbed, including gardens, the culture of the Tang Dynasty. In today's Korean classical gardens, you can still clearly see the traces of China's Tang Dynasty garden layout and architectural style. Korea's classical gardens have a lot of artificially excavated pools, either natural or regular type. Three islands in the pool, apparently with China's "three mountains in a pool," the traditional approach to gardening in the same lineage.

Korean classical gardens in the appearance of the building is very beautiful, gentle roof slopes, the body of the house is short, not steep. The two ends of the ridge and the eaves end around the high rise, soft curve, coupled with the narrow proportion of windows and doors, so that the body of the house and the rising trend. The eaves of the roof are very long, creating deep shadows under the eaves, giving the whole building a distinctive three-dimensional sense. Roofs are mostly hipped, paved with gray and black tiles, dark red columns, lined with green window panes, soft and dignified colors, especially part of the skillful use of white, so that the overall effect of gradual gradual gray, not show excessive voluptuousness, but more rustic and subtle. The building is large in size, but there are few closed stone walls, resulting in a grand and open atmosphere. This architectural form is a blend of Korean national architectural styles and has many similarities with the Tang Dynasty architecture in China. In some details, such as powerful arches, huge eaves, curved roof ridges, and thin upper and thicker prisms, these distinctive features of Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture appear in Korean ancient buildings, indicating that Korean ancient architecture largely absorbed the forms and construction techniques of Tang Dynasty architecture.

The prince's paradise - goose and duck pond

According to the "History of Classical Chinese Architecture" records: "The development of gardens in the Tang Dynasty had an impact on Japan and Silla. King Wenwu of Silla made a garden garden, made a pool in the garden, stacked stones as a mountain, like the twelve peaks of Wushan, planting flowers and plants, breeding rare birds and animals. According to the evidence: southeast of Gyeongju goose and duck pond is the site of the garden at that time." This clearly shows the origins of Geese and Ducks Pond. This garden was built in the 14th year of King Wenwu (i.e., 674), then destroyed in the war and restored in 1975. According to the examination, the pool in the garden was piled up three islands, respectively, symbolizing Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou three sacred mountains, symbolizing the twelve peaks of Wushan were located in the north and east of the pool, along the pool **** there are twelve buildings. Yan duck pond was once the prince of silla's east palace, every happy holiday, the prince will be in the garden feast guests, song and dance. Now, only the Yan Duck Pond has been rebuilt, three islands and three buildings on the west side of the pond. Geese and ducks pond water management is quite successful, the pool is slightly square, covers an area of about more than ten acres. As a result of the local layout of the three islands and two peninsulas into the water, so that the water or open Shu Lang or eddy deep, free to put, quite a natural interest. In particular, the pool northeast and southeast of the clever use of the "hidden source" approach, played an extension of space, change the scenery, small in the role of the big.
