Abstract:The practice of making architectural models for approval before building a house has a long history. The origin of the model dates back to the Tang Dynasty at the latest. What can be seen now are only "hot samples" made by ‘Yang-Shi-LEI’ in the Qing Dynasty and architectural models of a later period. These architectural models not only become a witness of ancient architectural techniques, but also provide some convenience for today's technical research. After liberation, the government paid more attention to the protection of cultural relics, and had made a batch of gold nanmu building models. This paper introduces the design and making method of the Xieshan roof(gable?and?hip?roof) frame model.
