In people's impression, Western palaces, churches have always been megalithic buildings, in fact, not completely, in the early days, limited by technical conditions, the Greeks also used easy-to-process wood to build houses, and later with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of tools, they turned to the use of stone, but still retained the style details of the wooden structure, so the stone Greek temple is called "petrified carpentry", because the Greeks are the techniques used in wood construction to stone buildings, and the jagged vertical bands on the top line of the column are called The "three longs" represent the end of the rafters, and the dripping decoration below looks like the wooden pins they replace.
Later, although stone architecture became the mainstream of Western architecture, they still did not abandon wooden architecture, especially in Eastern Europe, in Poland and Romania and other countries, you can now see wooden churches, these churches because of the use of wood, so the volume is not as grand as stone churches, but also use the mortise and tenon process, the structure is very strong, and the preservation time is relatively long.
