Temple of Heaven Pray for the Year

In addition to the royal buildings seen above
Style the Ray family left us
There are more important things
Royal architectural design drawings
Looked at so many designs
You will inevitably have questions
In that era when there was no modeling software
How did the Style Ray family come up with the design?
The answer is – drawings
Ancient name "pattern"
The so-called pattern
Similar to today's architectural design drawings
Design pattern of the three major halls of the Forbidden City
Before designing the building
The topography of the design site is often surveyed
Then as the chief designer of the style Ray
So we started designing
From surveys and mappings, plans
to design drawings, construction drawings
Even feng shui topography maps, mountain point point map, etc
Every project detail, structural dimensions
It needs to be precisely expressed in the pattern
This is very similar to today's design process
Huiling survey and construction drawings
How detailed can the ancient design drawings be?
The pattern not only indicates the contours of the waters

The furnishings of the various places are marked

Make it clear to the viewer at a glance

In 2007, the architectural drawings of The Style Ray were inscribed on the Memory of the World Heritage List.
If there is no style Thunder design pattern that has been handed down
We still have no way of understanding how the ancients designed architecture
It is also the preservation of these patterns
Restore for us the real appearance of those disappeared buildings
Provides an extremely valuable basis!
Professor Wang Qiheng of Tianjin University once said: "If there is no style Leitu file, no one knows how to design Chinese, and we have no right to speak in the field of architectural design around the world." It reveals to the world the concept of Chinese architectural design and embodies the values of Chinese. ”

Ancient architectural models – hot samples
When the pattern was approved by the emperor
Style Ray needs to make a sandbox model
This is called scalding
There is an ironing procedure in the process
Got the name Scalding
Style thunder hot sample
A little hot sample
You can then place line text on the drawing
It becomes something that the emperor can see intuitively
The appearance of the scene after the completion of the building
In fact, the design drawings are still not intuitive enough for the expression of the design
In modern architecture, landscape and other industries
It is also necessary to make a model to compensate for the defects of the drawings
Models can reduce many of the communication barriers with customers
The same is true of the birth of hot samples
The only difference from the normal model is that
The customer of the hot sample is the emperor
Therefore, the production of hot samples is particularly delicate
It's a great look
Yuanmingyuan Wanfang'an and Xuan hot samples
The interior of the building is also modeled on the structure of the real building
The hot sample can even be disassembled
When you want to see the interior of the building
Just lift the roof
Even the placement of tables and chairs is fine
Even the style of the tent curtain is expressed
Even in modern times
It is not easy for the model to achieve this level
Yangxin Hall stage hot sample
In addition to the buildings and furnishings seen above
Gardens, trellises
Even the mausoleum and the imperial ship are expressed with hot samples
gardens
Yuanmingyuan Qingxia Hall hot sample
Theatre
Changchun Palace opera shed hot sample
Your ship
There is also something too detailed to be repeated
Mausoleum
Puxiangyu Wannian Jidi Underground Palace hot sample
postscript
For a long time, there has been a certain misunderstanding of ancient Chinese architecture, believing that Ancient Chinese architecture is only created by craftsmen with models, and its height can only reach the level of skill, not design by architects. The emergence of style lei has justified the name of ancient Chinese architecture, and we not only have an equally mature design process, but also stand at the forefront of the world in terms of fineness and complexity. And these precious legacies are worthy of every Chinese today's knowledge and inheritance!
