Under the song of "There is a Lu ban on the top, a long class on the bottom, a purple micro order, and a palace sealed in the Golden Palace". Later, the large-scale Yuanmingyuan project began, and Lei Develop was transferred to the Yuanmingyuan Nanmu style house, that is, as the chief designer of the project.
On the basis of inheriting the traditions of his predecessors, Lei Developed innovated and formed his own unique style, such as the ancient Chinese architectural complex adopting the development of the central line in depth and depth, and adopting a symmetrical arrangement. When he designed the Qing Palace, he did not stick to the rules, not only maintaining strict symmetry in the buildings on the center line, reflecting the idea of "centering as respect", but also adopting a rough symmetry of the buildings on the axis on both sides of the main axis, and showing a new pattern of clear primary and secondary. Since then, Lei has been known as "style lei".
He is the author of "Examples of Engineering Practices of the Ministry of Works" and "Record of Construction sections".
