Abstract:The development of traditional Chinese architecture to high-rise buildings has experienced three main stages: 1、 The first stage is to build with soil first, and then set up the wooden frame on the soil. 2、In the second stage, the wood structure is built on the foundation of earth and stone. 3、 Build with bricks and stones. Traditional Chinese architecture takes wooden construction as the main trend, so the first two stages are the tentative stages of the development of traditional Chinese wooden construction to high-rise buildings. Studying this development process is of great significance for understanding the development of traditional Chinese wooden construction.
