roof structure of architecture of ancient China


The roof is the ancient Chinese architectural style in the main part of the curve in general
were from different forms of Liangjia structure. The building is important to single out
brackets cornices, eaves in the corner formed Qiqiao wing angle.
5 roof of the basic form, that is, the two sides of the slope at both ends hanging out hanging
Peak; sloping sides do not hang out at both ends of the hard-top; slope on all sides of the
veranda Dianding; for the cut-off on the hanging hardware or Shan Shan, under the cut-off
for Xie Shanding veranda of the hall, Cuanjian Ding, also a time of their priority, which
Dianding veranda of the first, occurred at about the Qin Dynasty, Qin and Han dynasties
when the hanging and similar top of the roof of a sharp save, but the latter still For a short
period of Zheng Ji, the slope is not true in the intersection, after the Eastern Han Dynasty
have had a real and Zanjian Ding Xie Shanding; Peak emergence of the latest hardware, the
Ming and Qing Dynasties, with extensive use of brick walls housing After the adoption of a
large number. In addition to the hardware and hanging Peak Peak, other forms of the roof can
be made in the form of Zhong Yan.
All kinds of roof construction in ancient China
Singapore's housing interface is generally a roof. Poding a two-Zheng Ji (sometimes slope of

the two-phase round, Zheng Ji-free, gold or ridge known as the Juan Peng), and sometimes in
the two-side slope around the block from the direction of an up and down, decorative vertical
ridges; four Po Ding Zheng Ji and a 4 closure of the oblique ridge; Xieshan Ding has 9 roof,
that is, a Zheng Ji, 4 vertical ridges, the ridges closure 4. Only Cuanjian Ding closure ridge,
the number of 4 to 8, with the shape of the plane; Cuanjian Ding circular roof did not. A
variety of roof ridge closure received in the previous paragraph, also known as a small part of
the bifurcated ridge. The ridge-side ridge or ridge often high-profile since the decoration,
Zheng Ji as the animal Kiss (also known as the end of chi, chi kiss or kiss is), vertical ridges
and the closure of the ridge down animals, animal closure, the bifurcated ridge Many
animals, such as immortal. Early roof tiles for the more complex base, the Ming and Qing
Dynasties is commonly used in a variety of specialized spinal matter.
According to the roof of their own style personality, separately for different occasions.
Dianding magnificent style veranda, such as for building high-level central axis of the main
temple door and housing; Xieshan Ding gorgeous and lively personality, for the general side
hall in a palace; Zanjian Ding used for pavilions and pagodas; hanging Peak Hill and
hardware used for residential . In the feudal society in China, the shapes and decoration of the
roof are many grades of the provisions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is particularly strict.
In the form of roof, height, decorated with the image of the ridge, the size and number, as
well as the materials used to be based on the color of the level of the building, shall not go
beyond.
Housing Liangjia refers to the wood structure of the upper part of the skeleton, its structure
can be divided into two beams and lift the two-Chuan Dou types. Carrying beam in the
column deep into the housing along the direction of the beam to place, on the beam and then
overlay layers to reduce the beam, the beam at the two ends of a short beam under the home
or Dianmu short column, the next layer of support beams. Most of the short beam, said Leung
Ping is neutral short column. In the next two Liangjia between the short column in the middle
of stigma and Liang Liang in the first room along with the direction of the sub-index linked
to constitute a "between." Application purline may also wooden pallets and Fang. Chuan
Dou-deep into the housing along the direction of a row of Li-chu, have access to higher
columns purlin to support sub-standard; inter-column with a long horizontal cross-Fang,
Liang Jia between the two sub-standard addition to the outside and play with Fang and fiber
Sub-link. Carrying beam used in the construction of the North, the South for the higher
construction; Chuan Dou-general of the South for more housing.
Liang Jia of the art processing in the following ways: to Liang Liang made on the form,
that is, the beam up and down on the surface are Xiao Cheng slightly upward curve of the
arch, at the same time on the beam between Dianmu, the outline also make short column A
variety of artistic processing. If the de-made, hump-shaped and so on. Short columns and
beams decorated with wood joints used. in the beam on the surface of the sculpture more
floriation were mainly observed in the construction of the Qing Dynasty, some only floriation

the Great Wall

the Great Wall

The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World
Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down
across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers
(4,163 miles ) from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of
the sections of the great wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still
one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur
and historical significance.
History: Excitement abounds in the origin, vicissitude and nature of the great wall of the Qin,
Han, and Ming dynasties.
The Great Wall was originally built in the Spring, Autumn, and Warring States Periods as a
defensive fortification by the three states: Yan, Zhao and Qin. The Great Wall went through

constant extensions and repairs in later dynasties. In fact, it began as independent walls for
different states when it was first built, and did not become the "Great" wall until the Qin
Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang succeeded in his effort to have the walls joined together to
fend off the invasions from the Huns in the north after the unification of China. Since then,
the Great Wall has served as a monument of the Chinese nation throughout history. A visit to
the Great Wall is like a tour through the history backwards; it brings tourists great excitement
in each step of the wall.

chinese houses altar


In ancient China, the main functions of the altar for worship, so there is the "altar" of the
name. However, vows, will be North Korea, Feng Bai, the ancients often built altar to show a

solemn act, for example, when Liu Bang was built altar gatherings for worship General Han
Xin.
The emergence of the altar, with the prehistoric environment in the open nature worship of
God is closely related to the activities at that time, in order to attract the attention of the gods
so that their hope to reach a better gods, often use natural mound, high - Kong or higher, such
as mountain terrain to build the altar. For example, sub-county in Liaoning Lingyuan Hill
found that the Hongshan Culture altar is located on the Peak; at Lingyuan, Niu Jian-Ping
River at the junction of the beam female temple ruins in the top of the mountain; in Zhejiang
Yuhang of the Dayaoshan Top, and found a Liangzhu culture of the altar.
Into the era of civilization, the altar of large-scale construction and use of increasingly
monopolized by the rulers. Their object of worship, but also gradually on the day, and, on that
state, the first of several agricultural, and other top natural God and the nature of God with a
strong flavor of the High God on the islet. From the highest ruler of the world (or their
representatives) to a maximum of Zhuji nature of God islet, which is built on ancient
sacrificial altar in the building occupied a higher status and specifications, has a different and
the supremacy of the sacred, and Such features are in addition to the universe other than the
worship building does not have.
Has a broad religious building, a narrow, respectively. The only sacrificial altar in the narrow
sense of the main building?? Or a square or circular altar, the sacrificial altar and in a broader
sense, including the main building and ancillary buildings. To the existing Beijing's Temple
of Heaven in the Ming and Qing, for example: the narrow sense refers to the Temple of
Heaven Tan Huan Qiu, and in a broader sense, including the Temple of Heaven is a
vegetarian Palace, the Temple Qi years, Wong Yu Qiong, Zaisheng kiosks all other buildings.
And hierarchical world of reality corresponds to the feudal era of the ruling class will be the
separation of heaven and earth god islet different level. In this way, as the sacrificial altar will
be built in the shape, size, material, and many there have been clear hierarchical. To the altar
built by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Emperor of Heaven is the highest God, the altar of
Heaven and therefore it is designed to three; state is synonymous with national, state,
therefore the three-tier altar has been made; to the altar for two days Tan, on the altar and are
a Xiannong Tan. How much of the rise is entirely in accordance with the godhead may be.

with Chinese characteristics founded by the Buddhist temples and China has developed
tower, pagoda temple is an important part of. After a long time to build, not only quantity, but
also rich in content. The mini-tower can be used as carving works of art, souvenirs; tall tower
is the ancient multi-storey building, which involves the situation of different historical
periods, different historical periods related to the structure, mechanics and other areas of
science and technology development.
Ancient pagoda itself has exceeded the performance of their buildings as the value and
significance, but also history, culture, religion, philosophy, aesthetics, archeology, ethnology
and even tourism and so on the value of different disciplines rolled into one. Tap on the

Yingbi, or named Zhaobi, built in the courtyard of the door opposite the door or in front of
the door, Yingbi to block the view of the door opposite the mess outside the building so that
people can feel standing in front of the wide, clean, but also shows the courtyard of the Inside
and outside are different. According to ancient geomantic experts say that in front of the
Yingbi, and the hospital Yingbi, in order to make the air flow around the line and Yingbi,
while gas-feast, and "Long after" record straight loss Rending. Sha red block from the role of
the murderous look. However, the size of the courtyard, in his capacity as the owner of the
premises as a result of different sizes and different doors, so Yingbi in the construction of

certain rules. The word is generally Yingbi, to build more housing officer in front of wealthy
businessmen or, Yingbi its construction is divided into three parts, Tongwa coat, in the
rectangular brick wall with a framework for the heart box and added four brick, carved in the
middle Blessed, money and the words hung, under the name Xu Mizuo Yet there is still a
Yanchiyingbi, block work fine, brick mill of the joints, there are carved flowers, birds Yingbi
also have a corner on the wall of flowers, grass, and so on. Yanchiyingbi the entire building to
fully embody the solemn, beautiful. General Yanchiyingbi in the construction of more
government offices, government policy, the luxurious, the common courtyard of the three
Yingbi, the first at the inside of the door, was a font called Yingbi word. Yingbi inside the
door of the word independent of the rooms have a gable wall or between, known as the
independent Yingbi, if the rooms in the mountain directly on the wall build a small wall and
made Yingbi cap shape, so that the gable and Yingbi together, Shan Ying Bi known as the
Block.
The second is located outside the door of Yingbi, which is located in the alley , is on the gate
of a big house, there are generally two types of shape, was flat, "a" character, called Yingbi
word, the plane "Mi"-shaped, said Yanchiyingbi. Both Yingbi stand alone or wall opposite the
house, or build upon on the wall opposite the house, mainly for housing and do not block the
view of the opposite rows of Yantou angle, so that the door to go out to those who have a tidy
appearance of the feelings of pleasure .
There is also a Yingbi, located in the east and west sides of the door, and door cornices into
120 degrees or 135 degrees angle, the plane was / \ characters, called "anti-Yingbi eightcharacter" or "write-Shan Ying Bi." Eight anti-Yingbi to do this, the door to the back, into the

Pavilion
Chinese ancient architecture in multi-storey buildings. Early differences between House
and the House, the House refers to the re-housing, repair and narrow Qu, in a building in the
back seat; Court means the lower part of the overhead, hanging the bottom of the building, a
square was flat, two-story, flat seat, In the main UN building in the location. Court House,
and then each other, no strict
China's tourism and historical sites to watch, often encounter, such as pavilions, these
buildings are located in the Qishanxiushui, dotted every one of the richest poetic beauty.
There is a pavilion roof without the walls of small buildings. There are round, square,
hexagonal, octagonal, and plum blossom-shaped fan, and so on a variety of shapes. Pavilion
often built on a hill, next to the water, flowers, the bridge can be for people to shelter in a

shade, rest viewing, but also in the park more beautiful scenery. Most of the Chinese pavilion
with wood, bamboo, brick, stone-built, such as Beihai Park, Beijing's five Longting, Suzhou
and so on the Canglang Ting.
Gallery is a garden in building links between the channels. It can not only shelter from the
rain the sun, like a scenic tour guide lines can be provided for visitors through the space
between the pillars to watch the scenery. Summer Palace in Beijing gallery, is the longest of
the Chinese garden gallery, the gallery is calm on the side of the Kunming Lake, on the other
side is green and Longevity Hill Yi Zuzu classical architecture. Visitors stroll the promenade,
one can watch all the beautiful Huguangshanse.
Tse is in the high-profile house. General pavilion built in the water, banks of flowers or the
water's edge. Built on the water's edge, also known as the "Shuixie" for visitors to watch and
build water features, such as Beihai Park Shui Xie, Chengde Mountain Resort of water, such
as heart pavilion.
Is a magnificent two-story pavilion above the tall buildings. Visitors can climb Yuan Wang,
rest viewing; books can also be used to worship Buddha, visual flying. In China, many of the
famous pavilion, as close to the sea in Shandong Penglai Pavilion, the Summer Palace of

secret

Yiroukegang thought, is the traditional wisdom of the Chinese nation. The world-renowned
Tai Chi Chuan
Such thinking is the direct result of
The Chinese tradition of building wooden structures seismic shock method
Can be called "architectural version of Tai Chi Chuan"
And masonry construction of the West "just has just grams of" different from the traditional

Chinese wooden structure built to resist the impact of the earthquake, using the
"Yiroukegang" thinking through all sorts of clever, its objective is to minimize the cost of
Will be a powerful natural bridge to minimize damage. Many of China's ancient
architecture were successfully received by the earthquake test, such as Tianjin, North
Guanyinge Dule Si, Yingxian Wooden Tower building, and so on, thousands of years has
gone through many earthquakes are still proudly stands. Contemporary architectural design to
withstand an earthquake of 9 degrees as the goal, and our traditional wooden building has
been able to meet this requirement, but its price is far less than the West's "just" can not but
be impressed by the width and "soft" power.
Flexible framework: the wall was not housing collapse
Since the beginning of the civilization of the Chinese nation not only on the wisdom of the
choice of organic materials such as wood as the main structural material, and the
development of the world's oldest, longest and highest technical maturity structure of the
system - flexible framework for the system. China's wood technology, if only in Yuyao,
Zhejiang Hemudu ruins the moment, at least so far nearly 7,000-year history. As a
comparison, the West has been used for thousands of years in the system of load-bearing
walls, until the industrial revolution, modern science and technology development, realized
that the superiority of the frame, was the beginning of large-scale popular, but also worth
pondering is that this framework System is still "just has just grams." China's traditional
wooden structure, with all the advantages of the frame structure, such as the "wall of housing
do not fall down" effect, but its flexible connectivity, and it has made a considerable degree
of flexibility and a degree of self-recovery capability. The earthquake in Wenchuan, many of
the cultural construction of the wall were damaged to varying degrees, but the main structure
has not collapsed, this is the flexible framework of anti-seismic capability.
Floating raft foundation as a whole, Dougong, mortise Mao: the key to the fight against
earthquake
Few of China's ancient architectural complex in the construction plane, the main use of a
2:1 aspect ratio is less than the rectangle. Plane patterns and rules in favor of anti-seismic
structure. Traditional construction is often in the middle of a (inter-care) the most, on both
sides of the times, and so on in order to reduce inter-Blastophagus wide, so the design is very
conducive to the earthquake resistance of torque.
Chinese ancient architecture in general by the platform, Liang Jia, the roof consists of highgrade construction on the roof and between the beams and a layer Dougong. China's ancient
architecture with modern platform language to describe the structure, known as the "floating
raft foundation as a whole," is like building a ship carrying floating in the form of an
earthquake, "stormy sea", can effectively prevent the construction of the foundation was cut
Damage to reduce the seismic impact on the upper part of the building. Chinese traditional
architecture Liangjia generally carried beam structure, in the framework of the vertical
direction to form a great little structure on the shape of Practice has proved that this structure
has a better way of seismic behavior. Large elegant roof of the ancient Chinese traditional
architecture is the most prominent feature of the image, but also to improve the building's
earthquake resistance ability has made a considerable contribution. The formation of large
roof (especially Dianding veranda, Xie Shanding, etc.) need a large number of complex
structures and components, has greatly increased the roof and the whole framework of a
whole; huge weight of the roof from its on-line in the column, also raised the framework of

the stability of the Sex.


Dougong of ancient Chinese architecture is aseismic another important fighters in the
earthquake shock absorber of the car as it plays the same as dissipation deformation.
Historically, many with Dougong construction can withstand strong earthquakes, such as Hua
Yansi of Datong in Shanxi Province, in the absence of Dougong low-level construction
subsidiary has been destroyed, with the main hall Dougong able to survive, Dougong a full
description of the earthquake. Dougong but can play a "shock absorber", and that was the
level of the various components of Dougong connect to a group of highly integrated, "just
set," according to "those who can afford the more you work," the principle of the earthquake
Power transmission to the pillars of the anti-seismic capability, has greatly enhanced the
security of the entire structure.
In addition to these more significant way, the ancient Chinese traditional architecture also
used in a number of other technical measures is the key to anti-seismic buildings. For
example, the use of mortise Mao: Mao tenon is extremely sophisticated inventions of our
ancestors as early as 7000 before they started, which do not have to nail the connection
components, making Chinese traditional wooden structure into a contemporary architectural
bent over, the framework Flexible or rigid frame of the special structure of the body, not only
to bear a greater load, and have allowed a certain degree of deformation in the earthquake
through the deformation under load to absorb some of the seismic energy structure to reduce
the earthquake response. For example, another pillar of Health, the side of the foot, and other
techniques to reduce the building's center of gravity, and the overall structure of the center of
gravity tilted inward, to enhance the stability of the structure; capitals, columns and feet were
exhausted amount to bundle wrapped in cloth and other structural components to connect So
that the column-plane formation of a closed system architecture with modern terminology, it
is the formation of the upper and lower beam, effectively put an end to the stigma, the foot of
the column moved to strengthen the building of an overall framework. Liang Jia system
adopted by the amount of late by the amount of stigma Fang, Shu-chu, climb, ride led by
Leung, purlin, Chuan and many other components strengthened, enhanced structural
integrity; Zhuchu post with a combination of ways to Significantly reduce the column at the
end of Zhu Chu and the friction between the top surface, which effectively have a role in
isolation; tall in the pavilion, such as Dule Si Guanyinge, such as the Wooden Pagoda in
Yingxian County, all in dark layer there are ramps Up, a great improvement to the framework
of the level of shock resistance to the role again; Yanzhu between the outer wall of thick set,
modern architecture has played in the "wall" of the role of these, The list goes on, to the
layout of the building group Deal with components as small as the size of the design section,
every show of ancient craftsmen in the seismic design of the knowledge and ingenuity.
