Features: The Beijing Fragrant Hills Hotel, designed by I.M. Pei and completed in 1982, emphasizes the integration of traditional Chinese architectural culture with Western advanced science and technology, achieving a unity of nationalization and modernization. It marked the arrival of postmodern architecture on China's architectural stage. Another representative work of this period is the Quli Guest House, designed by the renowned Chinese architect Dai Nianci. However, some designs still or, making formalism and retrogression tendencies resurface and even continue into the 1990s. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the occurrence, development, design characteristics, and theory of postmodern design, with the aim of learning from others to improve oneself.
