Is the ancient Korean architecture modeled after the Ming Dynasty?

South Korea's ancient buildings are not directly derived from the architectural styles of Ming and Qing dynasties, and South Korea has its own architectural development. And to some extent, it also affected the development of Japanese ancient buildings in a certain period.

From a professional point of view, Korean ancient buildings, especially the layout of folk houses, the walls of ancient houses and the way of opening windows, basically follow the architectural style of Han Dynasty in China. For example, the size of doors and windows is too small, and even the doors are replaced by windows (I don't believe you can see them in many Korean movies, especially those describing ancient or Korean villages). This trend was introduced into the Korean peninsula in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The indoor space layout of ancient Korean houses also comes from the rise of Confucianism in Han Dynasty, which emphasizes the hierarchical system within the family.

I think the buildings in Chou Ying's paintings you mentioned should be ordinary houses or some temple buildings. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, China has implemented a strict building construction system, and residential buildings and official buildings have been strictly divided in building standards. On the other hand, the Korean Peninsula and Japan also promulgated their own national architectural construction systems after China promulgated the Architectural Style in the Song Dynasty. In terms of official architecture, the architecture in the late Korean dynasty more or less followed some practices in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The exchange of ancient buildings among the three East Asian countries has never stopped. As one of them, the Korean Peninsula not only absorbs the knowledge of China's ancient buildings, but also spreads its own technology and style, which has a great influence on Japan.
