[Differences between China and the West]

One side of the water and soil to support one person, different languages to express different ideas, different buildings carrying different cultures. There are many differences in the difference between the East and the West in many respects and the more obvious aesthetic differences in construction. Western architecture is generally vertical development, directed at God. Chinese architecture, no matter how tall and magnificent, but rarely gives a "high" feeling, only gives a broad sense, because the building is a good start to shop the surface. Different cultures, religions, different, different architectural styles, different architectural developments, social forms and aesthetic differences brought about by the differences in building materials culture.


One, different architectural aesthetic style

Different materials, different cultures and societies, make ancient architecture in the West have different artistic expression. Different peoples have different cultures, show different emotions; different materials to create different buildings, show different beliefs. Western stone buildings are generally vertical development, built high and big. At the same time clever architectural roof is a major highlight of Western classical architecture. However, how to high-density stone vaulted engine, such as the warehouse structure is its position, so it is a straight line rising pillars, such as the early emergence of the Tasman dry bar, can also be said that the foundation of the Western construction foundation. Development pillars, with the western development of the roof of the building, if the pillars of Western architecture are the "basic vocabulary", then the roof of the building is the western "basic sentence." Different roofs lead to differences in the input of their own style, such as Greece , Rome, Byzantine, Gothic, Baroque, and so on. With the Western stone building, the basic style of Chinese ancient wooden architecture in brackets. The so-called stent is to hold up the overlapping curved wooden roof, it can be vertical expansion of forces in the horizontal, to build a variety of cornices. Like the roof of the building with the west, as the ancient Chinese architecture, the main theme of the cornice, there are many types, or down, or straight, or on the pick. Its different forms to create different artistic effects, or ethereal, or simple, or dignified. Not only pavilion, table, floor, pavilion, should use cornices to show their identity, express their feelings, and cornice height, length is often difficult and architectural design elements. One of the so-called long positive growth, shortening, cornices designed to be just right to appear ethereal rather than frivolous, simple, not mechanical, dignified and not one of the dull.


Chinese architecture deep into the taste of Chinese art style, which is particularly evident in the back garden. Suzhou garden exquisite exquisite, close to many changes in the landscape, such as rockery maze in the lion, the pursuit of sensational effect is extremely twists and turns loop. Reflected in many gardens, divided, such as the actual situation of debris. Garden architecture embodies the Chinese literati to pursue the ideological and artistic taste. According to the traditional literati repair Qi Zhiping is respectable, whether it is Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism or Lu Wang Yangming, all the attention is sincere, self-cultivation of science, Han Yong, mysterious meditation of their own love, in the ink practice "universe" Wen Yan is a plant wreck in the garden. They will include the vast universe into the heart, or that they will mind that the cultivation of the vast majority is the most important knowledge of the universe as the universe. In addition to the ancient Chinese Li Bai, Xu and so on several people, there are too many explorers, the literati stressed the "universe" approach without paying attention to explore the "days outside the days" related. These are reflected in the architectural gorgeous, complex content and form of performance. They will be in the garden architecture "universe" projection, in addition to building their own achievements, but also with the building's solid walls closed. As the emperor's home world, the construction of the Great Wall to "country" (country-based) repair one of the world's largest and longest wall. China 's faint glance here introverted, conservative aesthetic factors. China's political paradise of the idea of adjustment, according to the aesthetic taste of the palace to search for the building, China's traces of ideological power "can be found out from the garden building.China's cultural wall construction concerns. Western architecture has gone through different styles of different historical periods , This and the Confucian two thousand years of Chinese-style building rules in sharp contrast to the disappearance.


Western architecture, in which each stage of development is characterized by a very significant difference, people who have a little common sense can see at a glance the Gothic and Baroque architecture and the Chinese architectural history of the same period of deferred minimal changes in traces Breaking the thousandth century inheritance symmetry. Note: Gothic architecture

France is the first class of Notre Dame in Paris, the more typical Gothic architecture, also witnessed the so-called "Greek-Roman style", from the Gothic Romanesque, Gothic transition to the European architecture for the Renaissance. Take a look at the appearance of Notre Dame. Saw the three arches tied side of the spire above the main door covered with a huge rose window. The upper part of the hall has a spire up to 100 meters. All the columns are slender, sharp on the arch and dome common development. He was in the combination of steep bell tower and minaret towering the best state, people feel majestic rise to the blue sky.


The appearance of the Notre Dame in the medieval church and the control mode of operation, we can see how the times the spirit of the building in the spirit of the imprint of how deep. In a row of columns, heavy arched beams and layers of exaggerated Gothic spire towering towering Catholic class of social class symbol; pointed arch on behalf of those who are in the middle of the medieval Europe are fanatical admiration god infinite worship country. The spacious interior of the Notre Dame de Paris is also breathtaking, the magnificent hall, as well as the side hall, where there is a cross on both sides of the cross, we can see Christianity for the majority of the universal beliefs only mentally controlled Breadth of the depth, strength, and the desire of men and women to catch the Noah's Ark's desire for God's salvation. It is a huge dome above the four sides is a huge pillar, looking at the introduction of numerous vertical lines, dozens of meters high vaults in the dim lights dim, flashing, already devout religious beliefs introduced into the extreme, The original infinite madness in fantastic fantasies, it seems heaven, they are God's conversations. These small hospitals complex embellishment - gorgeous stained glass, carved altar, VOD Taiwan, the screen, the Buddha lifelike, complex flower, leaf-shaped ornaments, let us naturally feel a kind of disgusting medieval poetic and aesthetic tendencies allergy The


Second, the aesthetic of different architectural body

Chinese traditional architecture special emphasis on "straight line", pay attention to melody, rhythm flow and rhythm, good line shape, lines to teaser. So, in the Chinese painting, drawing or drawing tools both languages, all the routes. Chinese traditional wooden structure using beams, pillars is to adapt to this "line" of artistic appeal. Therefore, for the Chinese traditional architecture, whether it is a single building or group building skyline, all with Chinese painting hook outline, there are similar descriptions. Even in the art of music, such as traditional Chinese opera music, it seems to feel the flow of the line.


Western architecture focuses on the ancient Greek "volume of the United States", the historical conditions of Rome under the highly developed natural science, the number of special knowledge of people and geometry, the United States attaches great importance to the wealth of reasonable geometry. The beautiful building is a geometric relationship between the clear geometry and the ratio between the number of identities and the composition. So they tend to mix and build the shape of the building without the rules of the stone is to meet the needs of the number of geometric mean. In this work, they pursue the art of realism, to create the volume of the object, the sense of space, they have an innate desire to conquer everything, it seems more realistic painting, the more we can conquer this matter; In music, traditional music emphasizes the low voice, embodies the "sense of volume". Through ancient Greece and Rome, we must return to their homes to build, and we see the achievements of building our ancestors in our ancestors. Such a story, "Historical Records" records. Han Gaozu Liu returned to Changan column, see the newly completed Weiyang, the scale is too ambitious. He asked the small, the war has not yet completely victorious, how can such an expensive construction of the palace? Xiao He replied: because the outcome is not divided, it should build a more spectacular temple, or how can show your strength and affect it hey! "This little story shows that as early as 2,000 years ago, China's Han Dynasty, people realize that the contrast of the size of the palace plays an important role, they try to elegant and magnificent, extensive and in-depth spatial layout, rendering the noble atmosphere, To the column gives a strong shock, which highlights the authority of the king.Chinese people since ancient times there is a noble emperor stressed the royal family complex, but the emperor, the largest assembly of the Eastern Empire, highly centralized authoritarian regime, and the power of the monarch , The new heights, so that a unified, highly concentrated country, in the east, the monarch's palace for their inevitable demands have enough style to highlight the national prestige, prosperity feng shui is a subtle smoke out of the gorgeous style, in its influence , All the architects to improve their play to the extreme, to meet the needs of the times to meet the feelings of the emperor.Use your own special ability to use brick tiles of these tiles in the original "specialty", concentrated in architectural art, and That this has reached the Dana in the "philosophy of art" in the standard, the judge of outstanding works. Many of the palace was destroyed, so that our future generations sent a sincere feeling and learn from many lessons, but these buildings themselves have a way to make that brilliant and exquisite Qin Shi Huang Fang Palace has become the court building world wonders of the mixing performance, according to "record The mind of the emperor, "the records of this house" five hundred steps, five feet from north to south, life can be, you can build the flag in Wuzhang "Du Mu Tang Fu said: there are 300 years of its overburden, Day, five steps on the first floor, ten steps of a cabinet, corridor back waist, eaves teeth draft pick.Therefore, may see the courtyard of the magnificent grace of the complex and coordinated way compatible with the East, and the ancient Greeks pay attention to pure simplicity , Natural clear and chic different.


As the right side of the emergence of the state power of the Qin Palace, the Court of the Han Wei period also reflects the prosperity and the upper class of China Wu Shengshi time aesthetic taste. Han Dynasty Royal Court is keen to build the most luxurious on the forest "South one should test, Dinghu, Su Yu, Kun, next to the Nanshan and West, to Chang Yang, five oak, north around Huangshan, that near the Eastern Zhou praise hundreds Year "," a palace annex 36 "composed of stone mountain, chisel pool, gorgeous palace, white flowers and trees, plants, exotic monsters, no, no, also saw the spectacular Han court. Forget the emperor no longer satisfied with the monastic life of the court, and seek more pleasant entertainment. Unlike those of the bloodthirsty Roman Colosseum, the great tragic giants have been transferred to the feudal society of the feudal upper classes of the more civilized states, in the Confucian "balance" with "harmony" of thought and in the early Han intellectual Influence the deep Taoist respected under the influence of the "natural" thought, hoping to get exotic flowers and insects unique pleasure of admiration, relaxed physical and mental fatigue of the courtyard of the natural beauty of appreciation, so as to achieve the balance between physical and mental and spiritual peace The Han Han Yuan became the epitome of the epitome of the lifestyle of the upper class.


Qin Palace Han Ting, is a great Chinese born the first two great feudal dynasties, they show a great imperial style, showing an oriental elegance. This grace to produce pre-feudal society in China, culture is still not overly proclaimed by the excessive development of civilization, and not because of intense paranoia, Qing period. Therefore, this grace in the east, with a calm, calm, a great country style.


In addition, different building materials can also be seen in different Western aesthetic atmosphere. Wood is soft and soft to give people a beautiful experience of a warm, friendly atmosphere, the Chinese people are more emotional, the pursuit of a mood, the pursuit of harmony and psychological feelings of the prevalence; cold stone, hard, giving cold, blunt The feeling, with the rationality of the West, objective line, seeking practical psychology.


Opened the history of Western architecture, it is not difficult to find that the beauty of Western architectural beauty is actually geometric: Athens Patti Long Temple shape "control line" for the two square; from the Roman Pantheon dome on the ground, just can be embedded in A diameter of 43.3 meters of the sphere; Milan Cathedral of the "control line" is a triangle, the Paris Arc de Triomphe facade is a square, its central arches and "control lines" are two complete rounds. As for the landscaping, the natural objects of flowers and trees, by artificial pruning engraving, also glowing orderly geometric patterns in stark contrast is given to it beyond nature, controlling the natural "artificial beauty" and the Chinese garden "by man, nature, Natural breath. As early as 2000 years ago, the architectural theorist Vittoroi period of ancient Rome Augustus suggested in his "ten book building" in the application, solid, beautiful point of view of the classical architectural point of the three elements, was later regarded as a series of generations people. The architect of the early 17th century, Henry Wooden, must meet three conditions - strong, practical and joyful. Westerners are solid and excellent architectural evaluation as the first and second principles. Therefore, when the ancient Chinese architecture with the passage of time, destruction or disappearance, the ancient Greek, ancient Rome, ancient Egyptian buildings are still well preserved, with their own cultural and physical interpretation. Through the Chinese and Western architecture, shows the architectural form and Western aesthetic differences in the comparison.


Third, the harmony of different buildings and the beauty of confrontation aesthetic

Art of Chinese traditional architectural style, the beauty of color harmony. Although the construction of the Qin Dynasty also has a high Taiwan pavilions, the beauty of the palace, masculine majestic, magnificent, but by the Confucian influence "and" thinking, after the Han, masculine power on this program gradually American traditional Chinese architecture harmony And subtle beauty. Closed interior space combination, Yu Yu torture construction order level, melody, building dignified, natural architectural design soothing rhythm, giving a cordial, warm, carefree, comfortable aesthetic psychological feelings.


Most of the traditional Chinese architecture was extended to a flat-paneled group, and the individual was pursued in harmony. As Mr. Li Zehou said: "China's architecture, to maximize the use of wood structure and the possibility of the beginning of independence is not based on the purpose of a single individual building, but in huge space, flat material, interconnected and with buildings Characteristic It is concerned about the overall arrangement of organic arrangements between multiple buildings.

The Western classical architectural style of art emphasizes the performance of American confrontation between man and nature. Texture stone, concrete and other building materials stiff, cold, rational color thick, lack of human touch. In the building, the Western classical architecture with exaggerated styling, awesome scale presents the eternal and noble structure to reflect the great power of the masses of the physical structure. These precise geometric proportions, those filled with tension dome, pointed arch, who proudly stand the temple, the temple, everywhere with the natural show of confrontation and conquest, causing people to doubt, excitement, horror of the aesthetic feelings. Even the natural beauty of the landscape of the garden architecture is also an anti-Chinese style of Heaven, and Heaven against the performance characteristics of the fighter theme. In the eyes of the western gardener, the natural scenery is not the object of imitation, but the transformation, and thus the Western classical garden landscape to reflect the main building artificial Weili, but a foil flower garden architecture. Flowers and landscapes, there is not much to maintain the natural growth of the state, and cut into a variety of laws. The layout of the garden, but also by the people's will for the rules of the geometric shape, showing the courage to conquer the ancient Westerners fighting spirit essence.


Four, different architectural ground beauty and beauty of space aesthetic

Different architectural space layout, reflecting the Western system, culture, personality differences between the characteristics. From the spatial layout of the building, the spatial pattern of Chinese architecture is a closed group, spread out on the ground plane. In China, no matter what building, from the house to
