Why do most temples in China use red walls and golden roofs?

Historians believe that yellow has been regarded as a noble color since ancient times, because yellow represents the central position in the five elements theory. Since the Song Dynasty, the imperial palaces of feudal emperors began to use yellow glazed tile roofs. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was expressly stipulated that only palaces, mausoleum buildings and temples built according to orders were allowed to use yellow glazed tiles. In our country, red means dignity and wealth. In the Zhou Dynasty, red was widely used in palace buildings. Temples represent the Buddhist world and belong to the aristocratic class, so the architectural style is mostly palace style.

Historians believe that yellow has been regarded as a noble color since ancient times, because yellow represents the central position in the five elements theory (the central part belongs to soil, and the soil is yellow). In the Tang Dynasty, yellow has been defined as the color representing the royal family. In the Song Dynasty, the imperial palaces of feudal emperors began to use yellow glazed tile roofs. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was expressly stipulated that only palaces, mausoleum buildings and temples built according to orders were allowed to use yellow glazed tiles, and other buildings were not allowed to use them without authorization, while the houses of nobles such as princes and county kings could only use green roofs.

This shows how strict the hierarchy of feudal society is. In our country, red is considered as a festive color, which means solemnity, happiness and wealth. In the Zhou Dynasty, red was widely used in palace buildings and has been handed down. It can be seen that because the palaces of feudal emperors are the activity places of the supreme rulers, they must show the emperor's "supremacy" and "respect for Tibet" everywhere, so most of their palace buildings use red bricks and yellow tiles. Temples represent the Buddhist world and belong to the aristocratic class, so the architectural style is mostly palace style, and the walls are mostly red or red and yellow.

Chinese decoration often gives people an elegant humanistic atmosphere, which is liked by tasters. The design of Boya Chinese decoration in Gusu explored the connotation of Chinese classical decoration, and found that the real Chinese home style design should not only have a face, but also have a Chinese soul. The concept of Chinese decoration is not to accumulate expensive wood in the room, but a realm of harmony between man and nature. Contemporary people pursue the quality of life and individuality, and demand both comfort and taste and uniqueness for home.

The concept of Chinese decoration is not to accumulate expensive wood in the room, but a realm of harmony between man and nature. Contemporary people pursue the quality of life and individuality, and demand both comfort and taste and uniqueness for home. No matter rich or poor, no matter class, everyone wants to have modern material civilization, and at the same time enjoy their ideal "Fairy Mountain Qiongge".

In the face of the rising "Chinese style", many people are unrestrained before they understand the concept of "Chinese style", or pile up expensive materials or display luxurious styles, which brings many regrets and shortcomings to home owners under the random pile-up of classical ornaments and decoration techniques. As the first brand of China design in Suzhou, Suzhou Boya China Design Institute summed up the positioning of China decoration through the research and understanding of China home. Chinese decoration is actually the best test of one's own taste, including the perception and experience of knowledge and beauty, the overall conception and planning, the grasp and application of materials, and especially the yearning and longing for the ideal realm.

Conception-freehand brushwork: from perceptual cognition to rational cognition, and then from rational cognition to creating new perceptual cognition. From special to general, and then from general to higher special, your taste will be integrated into it. Family decoration is not only for self-entertainment, but also for the communication between friends, the harmony between characters and the unity of knowledge and action.
