Famous Styles of Ancient Chinese Architecture
There are various architectural styles in Chinese history, of which the imperial, religious and civilian architectures have their own characteristics.
Beijing quadrangles (北京四合 院)
Quadrangle dwellings in Beijing are formed by four inward-facing houses, linked by enclosing walls. The principal room at the center is where family rituals take place and distinguished guests are welcomed. The houses all face a courtyard, connected by verandas (走廊).
Imperial Architecture
Imperial mausoleums
are important examples of ancient Chinese architecture since they usually represented the highest architectural techniques of their times.
The number nine carried a special meaning in ancient China. It was deemed that odd numbers represent yang while even numbers yin. Since nine is the largest odd number under ten, it was regarded an extremely lucky number. So, emperors liked to monopolize it to symbolize their superiority. Designs related to nine appeared almost on every imperial structure.

These traditions have influenced East Asia for over two thousand years and some have spread to the West.

Daoists, in pursuit of the ideal of becoming immortals by practicing Dao, made great efforts to transcend conventional wisdom about life and knowledge and thus helped both to define ancient science in China and to advance it through a great number of inventions.
