@Aya Shawn
The architectures of different periods in China are different, and the architecture of ancient China is a process of constant change and development. And the buildings in different regions of China will also have great differences.
To simplify the matter, let's compare only one of the most representative types of architecture: the palace.
The ancient buildings that currently exist in Korea mainly come from the Joseon Dynasty. During this period, the Joseon Dynasty was a vassal state of the Chinese Ming Empire. At this time, the kings of the Joseon Dynasty were canonized by the Ming Empire, and their knowledge, culture, education, and writing all came from the Ming Empire. Therefore, the construction plan of the palace where the king lived also came from the Ming Empire.
This is the palace of the Ming Empire - the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City
This makes the ancient buildings that can be seen in South Korea have almost the same form and appearance as the Ming Dynasty buildings in China.
This is a historical building in Seoul, South Korea - Gyeongbokgung Palace
Someone will post a photo and say: It's not the same. China's imperial palace is bigger, Korea's is smaller. The imperial palace in China is gold and red, and the palace in Korea is blue and white.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding of the lack of understanding of the "hierarchy" of the Ming Empire. Gyeongbokgung Palace is the existing royal palace of Lee Dynasty in Korea. It was built strictly according to the system of the Ming Empire.
During the Ming Empire, the Joseon Dynasty belonged to a vassal state, and the status of the king of Joseon was considered a "vassal king". Therefore, the palace of the vassal king must follow the specifications of the vassal king.
Gold roofs and red walls are not allowed.
In various parts of China, there are still many palaces of vassal kings from the Ming Dynasty.
This picture is of the Muwang Mansion in Yunnan Province.
We will find that the architectural style and shape of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Korea and the vassal palaces of the Ming Empire are actually the same.
Carefully observe the emperor's palace and the palace of the vassals, and you will find that the Ming Empire has strict hierarchical constraints:
The emperor's palace is a golden roof, and the king's palace is blue;
The emperor's palace is located on the three-story platform, and the vassal king is only allowed to use the second floor;
The emperor's palace has three passages: the middle one is used by the emperor, and the side is used by the ministers.
There is only one passage to the palace of the vassal king.
The emperor's palace with 10 pillars on the front.
The palace of the vassal king, only 6 or 8
If you can be there in person, you will find differences in many other details. Even some artistic decorations, such as dragon claws, are different between those used by emperors and those used by vassal kings.
Therefore, the imperial buildings in ancient Korea were actually built strictly following the Ming Empire’s system, and were originally a copy of the Ming Empire’s architecture on the Korean Peninsula.
@Changyu
Sir, you forgot to mention the most crucial point, the scale
The Chinese palace is in the Forbidden City, and its area is more than four times that of Gyeongbokgung Palace. When I visited, the tour guide said that it was not even the original Ming Dynasty version, but a reconstruction in the Qing Dynasty. The original version is 30% larger! Almost as big as a football field
@Aya Shawn
Thanks, I have learned more.
I always thought it was from the Ming Dynasty because my tour guide told me that the Forbidden City was a palace built by the Ming Empire.
@Tim Tran
This is amazing! Very informative! I would also love to know the difference between Vietnamese and Chinese architectures as well, since there's no English information for that anywhere
@Michael L. Best
Me too! As much as I’d love to be the one to answer that though, I’m afraid my knowledge on most things premodern Vietnam to be lacking. Tran Minh Ngocmight be a good person to ask about it though. They write a lot of stuff on China and Vietnam.
@AyaShawn
In ancient China, there was a word to describe this phenomenon: exceeding the rules
Some ministers and vassal kings improved their clothing, ceremonial guards, buildings and etiquette specifications without the emperor’s knowledge. Due to inconvenient transportation or long distances, the central government did not notice.
The Royal Palace of Vietnam was built during the Nguyen Dynasty, when China was in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty did not have strong control over Vietnam, and it was basically just a nominal vassal relationship.
The outer palace of the Hue Royal Palace uses a green roof, and the inner palace uses a yellow roof, which vividly reflects the thoughts of the last dynasty of Vietnam on this issue:
To China, I am just a king; in Vietnam, I am an emperor
@@Michael L. Best
I did not know that. Thanks for sharing.
Japan also has many buildings similar to those in China. They have a kind of tall castle, which China does not have.
@Joseph Xue
Just a question, how fire proof were the plasters on Japanese castles? Would they withstand attacks by things such as Greek fires? Also are the roofs also tiled and fire proof too?
@@Michael L. Best
I’m not sure how to gauge that because it really depends on the quality of the plaster and how thick the layer was. Plaster doesn’t exactly make buildings fireproof, but makes them more resistant. I’m not sure how Greek Fire could be employed against a Japanese castle, but if the wall of the castle was doused in a flammable substance that was sparked, it might take several hours for the fire to really spread beyond the exposed section, giving the defenders enough time to put the fire out.
Roof tiles, to my knowledge, were made of a type of clay, which itself is fairly resistant to fires.
@@Joseph Xue
Well I mean it wouldn’t be that hard to move the contraption mounted under a cart with roofing and protection near the buildings, or the Greek Fire could be launched from an onager or trebuchet in a pot.
@@Michael L. Best
I didn’t realize Greek Fire could be launched like that, though I can’t say I know much about it.
Interesting, but remember that most sat on large stone bases and had many gates that one would have to go through to get to them. Very likely, the defenders would be able to rain death on the cart before it could get close enough. I’m not saying it would be impossible, but it would be more or less a suicide mission.
@Daniel Hongmyung Jheon
Its also important to mention that Japan’s original pagodas (such as the Horyu-ji) were all built by Baekje Buddhists (as said in the Nihon Shoki).
@@Michael L. Best
Somehow in writing this, I completely forgot about Horyu-ji. Though I was trying to emphasis the difference, I might tweak that section a bit.
@Bosley Plourde
Great answer. As someone who has stayed in both Japanese and Korean traditional houses, I really must vote for the ondol. I froze my ass in Japan, but was quite comfortable in Korea.
I stayed in a traditional Korean farmhouse heated with the old school wood firebox. Once those heavy stone slabs over the fire are warm they stay warm, and the thick earthen walls hold the heat.
This was down by the Naktong river in southeast region.
In the Japanese house, the walls were one board thick with some sort of paper mache applied to it. The wall cut the wind somewhat, but there were plenty of cracks letting in the cold draft. The only heat was a electric kotatsu, so basically it was the same temperature inside as out. Fortunately I'm a warm sleeper, so with enough futons and quilts it wasn't bad once the bed warmed up.
Getting up in the morning was a horror…. This was near Karizuiwa in central Honshu.
The palace in Seoul is a wonderful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. I used to go there sometimes to decompress in the splendid gardens. I suppose that would be another answer in itself - a book really - about the differences in gardens between the three nations.

I don’t doubt that I overlooked a lot of Chinese architectural styles, and while I would have loved to discuss all of them, doing so would have forced me to produce the equivalent of a masters thesis without the reward of a degree.
Much about the origin of Japan's royal family is shrouded in mystery, and I think they want to keep it that way. But that is an interesting theory, one I might look into myself if I have the time.

This is the most informative, well-organized collection of information about the comparative architectural styles of China, Korea, and Japan! I agree with another commenter that this could be the beginning of a book!
There are few things that I’d like to humbly add to your comprehensive and detailed post.
Little is known about Korean wooden pagoda architecture because of the numerous foreign invasions that burned down most structures. Early Silla pagodas were indeed very grand in scale, with narrow overhanging eaves. Hwangryongsawas a Silla state-sponsored temple that was originally meant to be a palace, so the scale of the temple buildings, as well as the pagoda in the temple - the center of the state-sponsored religion - was gigantic for its time.
However, wooden pagodas in Paekche were similar to Horyuji, which makes sense if Paekche architects built it. The only (Korean) Paekche wooden pagoda I’m aware of is a reconstruction of a Paekche temple put together from archeological findings that were identical or extremely similar to the structures of temples in Japan, especially Horyuji. However, the Korean archeologists/architects had to travel to Japan and study the details of Horyuji to more fully-inform how the Paekche archeological findings fit together into the final pagoda. Therefore, the reverse engineering of the pagoda and temple, called Sabi, from Horyuji makes it difficult to know if some Japanese elements were back-imported into the Sabi pagoda reconstruction. Nonetheless, the close relationship is undeniable.
Sabi Temple and Pagoda
Similar to the Kyoto style, the scale is smaller than the Silla style, the structure is 4-sided, and the eaves have a very subtle taper, which is consistent with contemporaneous Paekche stone pagodas. The eaves are also much wider than seen in Silla pagodas.
Few original wooden pagodas remain in Korea. Over 30 years ago, I remember reading books in Harvard Yancheng Library that showed old photographs of some smaller-scale wooden pagodas from the Chosun Dynasty. They were smaller than the Sabi reconstruction, but they had a similar 4-sided construction using the same bracketing system. Unfortunately, when the pictures were taken during the Japanese occupation, the pagodas were in a miserably dilapidated state. To my knowledge, none of those pagodas currently exist.
In residential architecture, perhaps because while Japan and Korea preserved the floor-based lifestyle, while the Chinese changed to table and chair-based living, this shared way of living day-to-day life may be the reason for some fundamental similarities in their residential architectures. Rooms are smaller and decorative elements are positioned to be viewed from lower because of living on the floor. As you mentioned, Japanese and Korean rooms are generally multipurpose, with small floor-based furniture being easily changed to suit the activity. Sliding doors in Japan were greater than in China and Korea, though I would estimate Korea’s use of sliding doors in between Japan and China.
However flexible space was a shared architectural concept. In Korean houses, spaces were modified by a combination of sliding doors, as well as double-hinged doors that swung horizontally, and then swung upwards toward the ceiling, completely removing the doors/walls to combine rooms. Sometimes this combined several wood-floored rooms, several ondol-floor rooms, or sometimes a combination of both. In comparison, because all Japanese floors are covered with tatami, a larger space made by removing shoji doors looks much more uniform and cohesive than in Korean homes. Here are a couple examples of Korean house interiors with sliding and hinged/lifted doors that combine smaller rooms into larger ones or simply open the house for ventilation.
Examples of Ondol and Wood-floored Rooms Combined by Opening, Lifting, or Removing Doors
Thanks again for your great answer. I always enjoy your posts.
@Changyu
Your answer is also very good.
But you ignore the differences in the eras of Chinese architecture.
"Evolved to living with tables and chairs" only applies to Chinese architecture after the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty and earlier China, they adopted the floor living model just like Japan and South Korea.

For some reason, that building with the very curved rooftop makes me think that it could have been designed by a very ‘hip’ architect of the times:
Hip architect: And we’ll have curvy roofs! Very, very curvy roofs!
Builder: But sir, isn’t that too extreme?
Hip architect: What do you know? This will set the trend for decades! It’ll go down in the designers history books!
Builder: If you say so…
@Wic Wong
the big curvatures on the eaves of some of the Chinese buildings is due to its latitude in relation to the sun. You typically see these curved eaves on Southern Chinese traditional buildings, and that is because it’s nearer to the equator which means the sun shines more straight down from above, so the southern Chinese curled up the edges of the eaves to allow more sunlight into the building. Hope that helps! :)
@Musajones Tagiraena
This is japanese temple.
You can see frxs in roof,
And This is Chinese palace in beijing.
We can see columns directly connected to the roof.
And higher columns are necessary to sustain higher parts of palace.
So Chinese buildings height was often limited by tallest available column.
Which caused Chinese palaces getting smaller over time, as they built palaces faster than trees growing pace.
In conclusion japanese used frx in roof cleverly to build very large wooden structures with smaller trees.
Which mean that japanese were more efficient
@Tomohiko
You are wrong. Roofs are not the key to Chinese architecture. In fact, the roofs of Chinese Tang Dynasty buildings were very large. In the Ming Dynasty, the roofs were reduced and the living space was expanded. This is a sign of architectural progress.
Remember: buildings are for people to live in.
It takes a lot of wood to make huge roofs. This is an obsolete building method in China. If you visit Tang Dynasty buildings in Shanxi, China, you will find that their structures are exactly the same as those of Japanese buildings.
So, the roof frx of Japan actually comes from China

@Michael L. Best
I can’t say I know for sure, but I don’t think they had any drainage system included. If I were to guess even further, it likely wasn’t necessary. Only the courtyard was really exposed to the elements, and it seemed to be mostly bare ground, which could absorb the rainfall. All they’d really need is a high threshold for their doorways to keep the water out of the rooms, which they seemed to have.
Royal buildings are always built on high platforms, so there is no need to consider too many drainage issues!

精彩的回答!不過(guò),我認(rèn)為中國(guó)有很多不同的風(fēng)格被忽視了,因?yàn)橹袊?guó)是一個(gè)非常大的國(guó)家。例如,靠近上海的吳文化的古代建筑被忽視了,它們看起來(lái)與日本建筑非常相似。傳聞稱(chēng),日本皇室實(shí)際上是在秦始皇統(tǒng)一中國(guó)后打敗了吳國(guó)的皇室。

I don’t doubt that I overlooked a lot of Chinese architectural styles, and while I would have loved to discuss all of them, doing so would have forced me to produce the equivalent of a masters thesis without the reward of a degree.
Much about the origin of Japan's royal family is shrouded in mystery, and I think they want to keep it that way. But that is an interesting theory, one I might look into myself if I have the time.
我懷疑我訪(fǎng)問(wèn)中國(guó)時(shí)忽略了很多中國(guó)建筑風(fēng)格,雖然我很愿意討論所有這些,但這樣做會(huì)迫使我寫(xiě)出相當(dāng)于碩士論文的內(nèi)容,而沒(méi)有獲得學(xué)位的回報(bào)。
關(guān)于日本皇室的起源有很多神秘的地方,我認(rèn)為他們希望保持這種狀態(tài)。但這是一個(gè)有趣的理論,如果有時(shí)間,我可能會(huì)自己去研究一下。
hey, i have a question abt the korean dancheong thing, i’ve actually seen it on multiple Chinese architecture, even the mongolian ones….
so the fact abt it being predate Chinese influence idk abt that………
I might just be wrong and might have confused the dancheong but Its pretty common in Chinese architecture….
嘿,我有一個(gè)關(guān)于韓國(guó)丹青的問(wèn)題,我實(shí)際上在多種中國(guó)建筑上看到了它,甚至在蒙古建筑上也見(jiàn)過(guò)……
所以關(guān)于它早于中國(guó)影響的說(shuō)法我不太清楚……
我可能錯(cuò)了,也可能混淆了丹青和其他,但在中國(guó)建筑中很常見(jiàn)……
譯注:丹青是中國(guó)古代建筑房梁和斗拱上的彩繪,并非是韓國(guó)的
Thank you for this excellent analysis^^. Its also Bookmarked in my case ;-)
感謝你的出色分析^^。在我的情況下也已收藏 ;-)
This was so informative that it tricked me into thinking I was on some other website or article saying about differences in east Asian homes
這條信息量如此大,以至于讓我以為我在其他網(wǎng)站或文章上閱讀有關(guān)東亞建筑差異的內(nèi)容
Bookmarked! Will read when I get a bit more time…
已收藏!有時(shí)間會(huì)讀……
Thanks for the in-depth research…fascinating overview. Great paper for referencing when I visit Seoul in August!
感謝你深入的研究……迷人的概述。是我8月去首爾時(shí)的很好的參考資料!
This is the most informative, well-organized collection of information about the comparative architectural styles of China, Korea, and Japan! I agree with another commenter that this could be the beginning of a book!
There are few things that I’d like to humbly add to your comprehensive and detailed post.
Little is known about Korean wooden pagoda architecture because of the numerous foreign invasions that burned down most structures. Early Silla pagodas were indeed very grand in scale, with narrow overhanging eaves. Hwangryongsawas a Silla state-sponsored temple that was originally meant to be a palace, so the scale of the temple buildings, as well as the pagoda in the temple - the center of the state-sponsored religion - was gigantic for its time.
這是關(guān)于中國(guó)、韓國(guó)和日本比較建筑風(fēng)格的最有信息量、組織良好的資料集合!我同意另一位評(píng)論者的觀點(diǎn),這可能是一本書(shū)的開(kāi)端!
我想在你全面而詳細(xì)的帖子中謙虛地補(bǔ)充一些內(nèi)容。
關(guān)于韓國(guó)木塔建筑的了解不多,因?yàn)榻?jīng)歷了許多外國(guó)入侵,許多建筑被焚毀。早期的新羅塔確實(shí)規(guī)模宏大,檐口狹窄。黃龍寺是一個(gè)新羅國(guó)有寺廟,最初是為了作為皇宮而建的,因此寺廟建筑的規(guī)模,以及寺廟中的塔——國(guó)家宗教的中心——在當(dāng)時(shí)是巨大的。
然而,百濟(jì)的木塔與法隆寺相似,如果是百濟(jì)建筑師建造的,那是可以理解的。我所知道的唯一一個(gè)百濟(jì)木塔是根據(jù)考古發(fā)現(xiàn)重建的,這些發(fā)現(xiàn)與日本寺廟的結(jié)構(gòu),尤其是法隆寺的結(jié)構(gòu)完全相同或非常相似。然而,韓國(guó)考古學(xué)家/建筑師必須前往日本,研究法隆寺的細(xì)節(jié),以更好地了解百濟(jì)的考古發(fā)現(xiàn)如何組合成最終的塔。因此,從法隆寺進(jìn)行的塔和寺廟的反向工程,即所謂的“薩比”,使得難以確定是否有一些
Similar to the Kyoto style, the scale is smaller than the Silla style, the structure is 4-sided, and the eaves have a very subtle taper, which is consistent with contemporaneous Paekche stone pagodas. The eaves are also much wider than seen in Silla pagodas.
Few original wooden pagodas remain in Korea. Over 30 years ago, I remember reading books in Harvard Yancheng Library that showed old photographs of some smaller-scale wooden pagodas from the Chosun Dynasty. They were smaller than the Sabi reconstruction, but they had a similar 4-sided construction using the same bracketing system. Unfortunately, when the pictures were taken during the Japanese occupation, the pagodas were in a miserably dilapidated state. To my knowledge, none of those pagodas currently exist.
日本元素被重新引入到薩比塔的重建中。盡管如此,密切的關(guān)系是不容否認(rèn)的。
薩比寺廟和塔
與京都風(fēng)格類(lèi)似,薩比塔的規(guī)模小于新羅風(fēng)格,結(jié)構(gòu)為四面體,檐口有非常微妙的收縮,這與同時(shí)期的百濟(jì)石塔一致。檐口也比新羅塔的檐口寬得多。
在韓國(guó),原始的木塔所剩無(wú)幾。30多年前,我記得在哈佛燕京圖書(shū)館讀到的一些書(shū)展示了古朝鮮時(shí)期的小規(guī)模木塔的舊照片。它們比薩比重建的塔要小,但使用相同的支撐系統(tǒng)有類(lèi)似的四面結(jié)構(gòu)。不幸的是,在日本占領(lǐng)期間拍攝的這些照片中,塔處于極其破敗的狀態(tài)。據(jù)我所知,這些塔現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有一座存在。
在住宅建筑方面,也許是因?yàn)槿毡竞晚n國(guó)保持了基于地板的生活方式,而中國(guó)則改變?yōu)樽酪紊?,這種共享的日常生活方式可能是他們住宅建筑之間一些基本相似之處的原因。房間較小,裝飾元素的位置也低,因?yàn)榈匕迳系纳?。正如你所提到的,日本和韓國(guó)的房間通常是多功能的,小型地板家具可以根據(jù)活動(dòng)輕松更換。日本的滑動(dòng)門(mén)比中國(guó)和韓國(guó)的要多,但我估計(jì)韓國(guó)的滑動(dòng)門(mén)使用介于日本和中國(guó)之間。

Thanks again for your great answer. I always enjoy your posts.
然而,靈活的空間是一個(gè)共同的建筑概念。在韓國(guó)房屋中,空間通過(guò)滑動(dòng)門(mén)以及雙開(kāi)門(mén)的組合進(jìn)行修改,這些門(mén)水平擺動(dòng),然后向上擺動(dòng)到天花板上,完全去除門(mén)/墻來(lái)結(jié)合房間。有時(shí)這會(huì)結(jié)合幾個(gè)木地板房間、幾個(gè)暖炕房間,或有時(shí)兩者的組合。相比之下,由于所有日本地板都覆蓋著榻榻米,通過(guò)移除紙拉門(mén)創(chuàng)建的大空間看起來(lái)比韓國(guó)房屋更統(tǒng)一、更連貫。這里有一些韓國(guó)房屋內(nèi)部的例子,展示了通過(guò)打開(kāi)、抬起或移除門(mén)來(lái)將較小的房間合并成較大的房間,或簡(jiǎn)單地打開(kāi)房屋以通風(fēng)。
再次感謝你的精彩回答。我總是很享受你的帖子。
Your answer is also very good.
But you ignore the differences in the eras of Chinese architecture.
"Evolved to living with tables and chairs" only applies to Chinese architecture after the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty and earlier China, they adopted the floor living model just like Japan and South Korea.
你的回答同樣非常好
但是你忽略了中國(guó)建筑的時(shí)代差別
‘進(jìn)化到桌椅生活’這只適用于宋朝之后的中國(guó)建筑,在唐朝和更早的中國(guó),他們和日本、韓國(guó)一樣采用地板生活模式

Amazing article! So informative! I’ve learnt a lot today! Thank you!!!
精彩的文章!非常有信息量!今天學(xué)到了很多!謝謝?。?!
For some reason, that building with the very curved rooftop makes me think that it could have been designed by a very ‘hip’ architect of the times:
Hip architect: And we’ll have curvy roofs! Very, very curvy roofs!
Builder: But sir, isn’t that too extreme?
Hip architect: What do you know? This will set the trend for decades! It’ll go down in the designers history books!
Builder: If you say so…
不知為何,那座屋頂非常彎曲的建筑讓我覺(jué)得可能是由一位非?!皶r(shí)髦”的建筑師設(shè)計(jì)的:
時(shí)髦建筑師:我們要有彎曲的屋頂!非常非常彎曲的屋頂!
建筑工人:但是先生,這是不是太極端了?
時(shí)髦建筑師:你懂什么?這將成為幾十年的趨勢(shì)!它將載入設(shè)計(jì)師的歷史書(shū)!
建筑工人:如果你這么說(shuō)……
the big curvatures on the eaves of some of the Chinese buildings is due to its latitude in relation to the sun. You typically see these curved eaves on Southern Chinese traditional buildings, and that is because it’s nearer to the equator which means the sun shines more straight down from above, so the southern Chinese curled up the edges of the eaves to allow more sunlight into the building. Hope that helps! :)
一些中國(guó)建筑檐口的大彎曲是由于它相對(duì)于太陽(yáng)的緯度。你通常會(huì)在南方中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)建筑中看到這些彎曲的檐口,這是因?yàn)樗拷嗟溃馕吨?yáng)光更直接地從上方照射,所以南方中國(guó)人把檐口的邊緣卷曲起來(lái),以允許更多陽(yáng)光進(jìn)入建筑。希望這有幫助! :)
Interesting, thanks for sharing
有趣,謝謝分享
Thank you
謝謝
This is japanese temple.
You can see frxs in roof,
And This is Chinese palace in beijing.
We can see columns directly connected to the roof.
這是日本的寺廟。
你可以看到屋頂中的框架,
這是北京的中國(guó)宮殿。
我們可以看到柱子直接連接到屋頂。
圖略
So Chinese buildings height was often limited by tallest available column.
Which caused Chinese palaces getting smaller over time, as they built palaces faster than trees growing pace.
In conclusion japanese used frx in roof cleverly to build very large wooden structures with smaller trees.
Which mean that japanese were more efficient
更高的柱子是支撐宮殿較高部分所必需的。
因此,中國(guó)建筑的高度通常受限于可用的最高柱子。
這導(dǎo)致中國(guó)宮殿隨著時(shí)間的推移變得越來(lái)越小,因?yàn)樗麄兘ㄔ鞂m殿的速度超過(guò)了樹(shù)木的生長(zhǎng)速度。
總之,日本人巧妙地使用屋頂框架,利用較小的樹(shù)木建造非常大的木結(jié)構(gòu)。
這意味著日本人在效率上更高

You are wrong. Roofs are not the key to Chinese architecture. In fact, the roofs of Chinese Tang Dynasty buildings were very large. In the Ming Dynasty, the roofs were reduced and the living space was expanded. This is a sign of architectural progress.
Remember: buildings are for people to live in.
It takes a lot of wood to make huge roofs. This is an obsolete building method in China. If you visit Tang Dynasty buildings in Shanxi, China, you will find that their structures are exactly the same as those of Japanese buildings.
So, the roof frx of Japan actually comes from China
你錯(cuò)了,屋頂并不是中國(guó)建筑追求的關(guān)鍵。實(shí)際上中國(guó)唐代建筑的屋頂很大,到了明代屋頂被縮小,而居住空間被擴(kuò)大,這是建筑進(jìn)步的標(biāo)志。
記?。航ㄖ墙o人居住的
耗費(fèi)大量的木材來(lái)制作巨大的屋頂,這在中國(guó)是被淘汰的建筑方式。你去參觀中國(guó)山西的唐代建筑,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們和日本建筑的結(jié)構(gòu)完全一樣。
所以,日本的屋頂框架其實(shí)來(lái)自中國(guó)

Courtyard house is popular in the west too. It can go back to Sumerian house. French one is probably Roman influence.
庭院式住宅在西方也很流行。它可以追溯到蘇美爾房屋。法國(guó)的庭院房屋可能受到羅馬影響。
I can’t say I know for sure, but I don’t think they had any drainage system included. If I were to guess even further, it likely wasn’t necessary. Only the courtyard was really exposed to the elements, and it seemed to be mostly bare ground, which could absorb the rainfall. All they’d really need is a high threshold for their doorways to keep the water out of the rooms, which they seemed to have.
Royal buildings are always built on high platforms, so there is no need to consider too many drainage issues!
我不能確定地說(shuō),但我不認(rèn)為它們有排水系統(tǒng)。如果我進(jìn)一步猜測(cè),可能也不需要。只有庭院真正暴露在外部環(huán)境中,地面似乎大多是裸露的,可以吸收降雨。他們真正需要的只是一個(gè)高門(mén)檻,以防止水進(jìn)入房間,他們似乎有這個(gè)。
皇家建筑總是建設(shè)在高臺(tái)之上,這樣可以不需要考慮過(guò)多的排水問(wèn)題!
