What are the principles of repairing ancient buildings?

Ancient architecture is an effective carrier to understand history and inherit civilization. Whether it can be preserved and passed down is related to the inheritance of national culture and the development of world culture. When restoring ancient buildings, we should pay attention to the following principles:

Safety first principle

Ancient buildings have a history of more than 100 years, and the components have to undergo different degrees of weathering or flashing. When finalizing the case, whether the building is safe or not should be regarded as one of the principles of repair.

Unified style principle

The repaired parts should be as consistent as possible with the original style. Respect the original style and craftsmanship of ancient buildings and maintain historical features.

Prevention first principle

Repair should focus on prevention, and ancient buildings should be regularly maintained to eliminate accumulated diseases and hidden dangers in the bud.

Principle of old material utilization

Using old materials can not only save a lot of money. From the perspective of building materials, it can also retain the characteristics of the original building.
