The most obvious embodiment of this feature is the capital Chang 'an. Chang 'an was originally planned and built in the Sui Dynasty, with an area of 83 square kilometers, which is eight times that of Xi 'an Chang 'an (Chang 'an in Ming Xi). It was the most magnificent and prosperous city in the world at that time and the center of political, economic and cultural exchanges. The planning of Chang 'an is the most rigorous among the ancient capitals of China.
It is his neatness that promotes the development of architectural skills. Other buildings in the Tang Dynasty, such as mansions, temples, towers, etc., are innovative on the basis of previous design concepts, with spacious space.
Second, the building location is clear.
The buildings in the Tang Dynasty are well-organized and well-laid. The buildings are generally square, with the main hall in the middle, also called the front hall, and the back hall behind the front hall, which is generally the residence of people, and the main hall is the residence of the building owner.
Third, the development of building materials and skills.
The building materials in the Tang Dynasty were wood, tiles and bricks. At present, all the Tang pagodas preserved in China are brick pagodas. At present, the brick tower of Song Yue Temple in Songshan, Henan Province is the representative of masonry buildings in Tang Dynasty.
