    Together with European architecture and Arabian architecture, ancient Chinese architecture is an important component of the system of world architecture. During its long development, it gradually formed into a style which featured timberwork combining stone carving, rammed earth construction, bucket arch buildings and many other techniques. Industrious Chinese laboring people created many architectural miracles such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
    Features: The most significant characteristic of ancient Chinese architecture is the use of timber framework. Paintings and carvings were added to the architectural work to make it more beautiful and attractive.

    Architecture Styles: There were many different styles of Ancient Chinese architecture such as Buddhist architecture, Islam mosques, Taoist architecture, Chinese temples, Imperial architecture, garden architecture and general architecture. All of them are unique and equally exquisite.

    Architecture and Culture: Architecture and culture are closely related to each other. Many architectural buildings contain cultural connotations. The cultural facts will help people better understand the structure and the design of architecture such as Fengshui and Paifang.
