Ancient Chinese architecture is mainly a wooden frame structure, that is, wooden columns and wooden beams are used to form the frame of the house. The weight of the roof and eaves is transferred to the columns through the beams. The walls only serve as partitions, not as a structural part to bear the weight of the house.
"the house does not collapse when the wall falls" summarizes the most important characteristics of the frame structure of Chinese architecture.
The old proverbThis structure allows the house to meet the ever-changing functional requirements of life and production under different climate conditions.
