Abstract

Abstract: From the time axis, as a continuation of the building level of Tang and Song Dynasties, the official architecture in Ming and Qing Dynasties is usually regarded as the end of classical architecture. However, due to the technical barriers cast by the "Construction Methods" and the development of feudal centralization to the final stage, the demand for building symbolism was strengthened to combat the spread of social secularization to maintain the legitimacy of its power, and many factors resulted in the gradual weakening function of the clear official structure and the pursuit of the form, thus unveiling the prelude to Chinese architectural modernism. This paper,from the religious symbolism of the official architecture, the planarization of decoration and the function of structure,analyzes the characteristics of its modernism. It aims to reveal the sprout of modernism in the Ming and Qing
Dynasty architecture, which has long been neglected.
