Abstract
China has at least 4,000 years of documented history. However, according to the ruins discovered, ancient architectural activities can be traced back to at least 7,000 years ago. Despite the difference in the architectures of different regions due to geographical, climatic, and national differences, after thousands of years of creation, exchanges and integration, a unique building system gradually was formed in the majority of the regions and continues to be used in modern times.
