Features: The architecture and architectural achievements of ancient China have long been regarded as an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Throughout the dynasties, whether it was city walls, palaces, temples, government offices, or shrines, gardens, and ordinary residential buildings, they all demonstrated the ingenuity of the Chinese ancestors in architectural art. At the same time, the architectural layouts and forms of different periods reflected the basic ideas of the feudal system and the strict hierarchical principles of the regime. Therefore, standardizing the forms of architecture, the sizes of building components, the spans of rooms, and the color patterns of different architectural decorations was not only a simple architectural issue in architectural design, construction, and shaping but also a very specific manifestation of maintaining feudal hierarchy and the feudal system in the feudal era. Additionally, with the development of social productive forces and the improvement of construction technology, especially large-scale government construction projects, the ancients needed to meticulously manage every process and component of construction, establish standardized procedures, and conduct strict cost evaluations, objectively requiring scientific management and procedural standardization of various construction projects. The Yingzao Fashi compiled by Li Cheng during the Northern Song Dynasty is one of China's ancient architectural codes, as well as the most systematic and complete architectural regulation publications.
