The organic combination of decoration and architecture is a major feature of the Song Dynasty. The architecture in Song Dynasty is obviously different from that in Tang Dynasty in appearance and interior. On the basis of skilled architectural skills, we focus on the description of architectural details, not only the artistic treatment of beams and columns, but also the detailed treatment of decoration and decoration.

The design style of architecture in Song Dynasty tends to be systematic and modular, and the architecture gradually appears free and changeable combination, which blooms with mature style and more professional appearance. In order to enhance the indoor space and lighting, the column lowering method and the column moving method were adopted, which increased the number of stories of huge bucket arches on beams and columns, and even appeared irregular beam-column layout, jumping out of the neat pattern of beam-column layout in Tang Dynasty.

There are various types of architecture in Song Dynasty, among which pagodas, stone bridges, wooden bridges, gardens, imperial tombs and palaces are prominent. Because the garden design that pays attention to artistic conception deliberately pursues the artistic conception of the combination of natural beauty and artificial beauty, the architecture of this period has changed the vigorous characteristics of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The roof and corner of the building tend to tilt, unlike the rich style of the Tang Dynasty, which gives people a gentle feeling. The extensive use of paint makes the color more prominent. The carving and painting of window lattice, beam column and stone pedestal are very varied, and the shapes of columns are even more varied.

What's the difference between architecture in Tang Dynasty and architecture in Song Dynasty? The difference between architecture in Tang Dynasty and architecture in Song Dynasty lies in the difference of architectural structure and decoration.

The architectural style of the Tang Dynasty is characterized by grandeur, neatness and liveliness. The existing wooden building materials reflect the unity of architectural art processing and structure in Tang Dynasty. The structure of the bucket arch, the image of the column and the treatment of the beam all make people feel the internal relationship between the stress state and the image of the component itself, and achieve the unity of strength and beauty. The tone is simple and bright, the roof is flat, and the doors and windows are unpretentious, giving people a solemn and generous impression.
