This book is a popular book on ancient Chinese architectural art from the perspective of "art of human settlement environment" and is divided into two chapters.
The first chapter consists of seven parts, introducing ancient buildings of different factions, including Beijing School, Jin School, Su School, Hui School, Fujian School, Sichuan School and other factions, allowing readers to see China's long and rich ancient architectural resources at a glance.
The second chapter consists of five parts, introducing the unique features of ancient Chinese architecture from a unique perspective, including eternal wisdom (Tao), form and style (shape), architectural function (vessel), material technology (material) and decorative art (yi).
This book not only introduces the artistic characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture, but also breaks through the professional barriers of traditional macro-level explanations of architecture. It focuses on the idea of picture teaching and intuitively popularizes the aesthetics of architecture, aiming to help readers better understand and appreciate the charm of ancient Chinese architecture.
Reader comments
As the author said, ancient architecture is not only art, but also the crystallization of wisdom. The pictures in the book are beautiful, and combined with the text explanations, it made me feel like I was actually there. Thinking of the Forbidden City I have visited, I can even more appreciate the greatness of Chinese ancient architecture. Recommended to friends who like Chinese culture!
The framework is good, but it feels a bit unfinished
