on the orders of the emperor, the Chinese method of construction in wood was set down in<br />
a detailed handbook (Yingzao fashi). these characteristic wooden construction methods have<br />
been handed down from generation to generation until the present day, thanks to that handbook<br />
and the system’s great adaptability. it is unique in architectural history for the structure<br />
of building to enjoy such longevity.<br />
in the 20th century, teaching models of great precision were made to document the most important<br />
buddhist temples and palaces. all the details are reproduced exactly in the large-format<br />
models, in order to enable study and reconstruction of the historical buildings. these models<br />
evidence the unique beauty and technique of wooden construction methods and thus<br />
offer fascinating insights into the tradition of Chinese architecture.<br />
