Abstract:The emergence of any architectural form is always closely related to the need of architectural function, and it also depends on the construction technology at that time to achieve. The Drum Tower in Dong people is an important symbol of Dong people culture and a typical representative of traditional Chinese architecture. Due to the lack of detailed written records and physical evidence, the origin and evolution of the drum tower in Dong people are controversial. Like other buildings, the drum tower in Dong people has gone through a long process from simplicity to complexity. In the process of development and evolution, architectural technology has played an important role. Therefore, from the perspective of architectural technology, this paper combs and explores the emergence, development and evolution of the drum tower in Dong people.
