Conditions for the emergence of architecture.

Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to create a place suitable for human habitation.

The overview of the development of ancient architecture in my country can be roughly divided into three historical stages: primitive society, slave society and feudal society. Among them, feudal society was the main period in which my country's classical architecture formed. Primitive society: At this time, the way humans lived could not be called buildings, but could only be called residences. The earliest known human residence in my country was a "natural cave", which was the earliest form of residence. However, due to weather changes, climate alternations and different geographical environmental factors, "rock caves" gradually failed to meet human needs. Therefore, humans who are good at imitating and utilizing nature learned to "nest-dwelling" and "cave-dwelling".

Nest dwelling: Primitive societies hung nests on trees in low-lying and humid areas. In the late primitive society, they gradually abandoned the "cave dwelling" method and used "ground buildings" as the main way of living. With continuous proficiency in construction techniques, they learned to build houses with wooden bones and mud walls, and also learned to open holes in the roof for lighting and ventilation. Therefore, the most famous "Yangshao Culture" and "Longshan Culture" in the late primitive society were gradually formed. "Culture", at this time there were not only ground-level buildings, but also a gradually formed group of buildings. Although they were messy, they had begun to take shape. With the gradual improvement of human living standards, there are also higher requirements for buildings. Buildings with different layouts have appeared in the late primitive society, and even suites have appeared. In the late Yangshao Culture, white plastered wall decorations even appeared. By this period, architecture no longer simply met the simple need of "living". The oldest temple site in China, the "Goddess Temple", was discovered in Jianping County in western Liaoning. What is particularly noteworthy is that there are colorful paintings and molding-decorated walls in the temple. This period was already in the late stage of primitive society and was about to enter a slave society. Buildings had also evolved from individual residential buildings to group buildings, and even temple-type ritual buildings had appeared. The pursuit of the spirit of architecture and the explore. The style is called nesting. Cave dwelling: Primitive societies dug holes in good soil and covered the holes with grass roofs, which is called cave dwelling. These two earliest ways of living also gradually showed the early prototype and most basic role of architecture. In fact, modern society has no more changes in architectural needs and meanings. They are all to meet human spiritual and material needs. They just put forward new thinking in the face of population growth, land scarcity, energy supply and many other aspects. It's just that more advanced technology, materials and greater productivity have created "modern architecture". Whether it is the emergence of "skyscrapers" or the popularization of "community housing", it is the adaptation of architecture to the new era. Architecture will develop forever with the progress of human civilization, whether it is the super cross-sea bridge "Port" built now "Zhuhai-Macao Bridge", or public buildings with different shapes and rich shapes, are all evolving forms of architecture. This kind of development has no end and is always on the road.
