Features: The language of Chinese ancient architecture encompasses various aspects, including the construction, materials, and art of ancient Chinese buildings. From the primitive society to the slave society, and then to the feudal society, until the end of the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, Chinese architecture has undergone thousands of years of development and evolution, gradually progressing from the primitive to the advanced, from the budding stage to maturity, and the architectural language has also gradually developed and changed, becoming increasingly rich. Classical architecture books are mostly organized in the order of historical development, while this book breaks the convention by dividing chapters based on different building materials and architectural types, aiming to provide readers with knowledge as well as a sense of novelty. This book also combines images with text, allowing readers to understand the language of Chinese classical architecture more vividly and intuitively, while the use of black and white illustrations enhances the "classical" charm of the book.
