Abstract:Traditional Chinese architecture is mainly based on wood as a frame, with soil as a wall, and these two materials are easy to tide, afraid of moisture, so ancient architecture pays attention to moisture resistance. In the long-term process of building houses, ancient craftsmen have created many effective moisture-proof methods, continuously improved, accumulated a large number of excellent technical measures. From the perspective of architectural history, this paper summarizes a series of measures for building moisture-proof, and demonstrates their scientificity by using modern science and technology principles.
