Luo, an architectural expert, commented: "The Ming Tombs have high architectural value. Nanmu Temple in Changling is the only temple with exquisite stone carvings in China. The Ming Tombs are the substantive history of Ming architecture in terms of architectural form, architectural structure and architectural art. "

Ancient Chinese architectural techniques, including Architectural Style in Song Dynasty and Engineering Code of Ministry of Industry in Qing Dynasty, are official architectural engineering books. However, during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties between Song and Qing Dynasties, there was no official architecture to study.

Therefore, the ancient buildings left over from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties have become the basic materials for architectural historians to study the architectural styles and characteristics of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In particular, the high-level official buildings in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Temple of Grace in the Ming Changling, are rare treasures.
