Features: This book fundamentally reveals certain non-technical influencing factors in the formation and development process of ancient Chinese architecture, specifically the relationship between the I Ching philosophy and traditional architecture. The content mainly includes: the evolution of the Bagua in the I Ching, the (pre-heaven Bagua diagram) and architectural patterns, the (post-heaven Bagua diagram) and the heaven-mirroring earth-imitating composition in architecture, and the "time-centeredness" in the I Ching and the "choice of centrality" in architecture.
