The Environmental Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Architecture

   Chinese ancient architecture shines with the wisdom of its ancestors everywhere, reflecting the relationship between humans and nature. Chinese ancient architecture advocates for the unity of heaven and man, using the environment instead of destroying it.

  An important feature of China's wooden structure system is its ability to withstand earthquakes. Some wooden buildings have stood still after eight major earthquakes. After nearly a thousand years of compression, all the arch of wooden architecture on the ground floor have been flattened, but the whole form has not changed. Only the Chinese wooden structure system can withstand this situation.

   The wooden architecture system in China has a significant impact on humanity, not only forming magnificent buildings that solve the safety issues of people's living, but also being able to withstand external earthquake impacts. China is a country prone to earthquakes, and this wooden structure system has protected China for thousands of years.

  The wisdom of ancient Chinese architecture is to draw essence from nature and imitate ecological form to create its own architecture, which is green. The current building structure is different from the traditional Chinese one, which comes from the West. This type of frame structure is the result of a tube in a tube, with a foundation well in the middle as a complete structural system. The building is then wrapped outside, and there is a good beam plate connection in the middle, which is also a steel connection. This structural form is different from the traditional wooden structure in China, and of course it can also resist earthquakes. However, its concept of earthquake resistance is different from that of traditional Chinese structures.
