Chongqing People's Auditorium embodies the characteristics of ancient buildings in China;

Due to the limitation of wood length, thickness, flammability and putrefaction, the ancient wooden structure in China cannot be very large. The Great Hall of the People is not only high in terrain and huge in abutment, but also wide and solid in abutment. With the help of the organic combination of groups, it achieves magnificent artistic effects. The ancient buildings in China mainly take the courtyard surrounded by buildings as the unit, and they are connected in series and parallel to form ever-changing buildings through obvious axis relationship. Ancient buildings should be in proportion.

The graceful and soft curves and slightly upturned cornices of the roof of the auditorium make the big hat roof that should have been pressed down show the feeling of upward support with the twists and turns of the lines. The generous body and wide abutment make the whole building stable and practical, reflecting the solemn beauty.
