The architecture in Sui and Tang Dynasties not only inherited the achievements of the previous generation, but also blended with foreign influences, forming an independent and complete architectural system, which pushed the ancient architecture in China to a mature stage and spread to North Korea and Japan.
Although the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty of less than forty years, it made great achievements in architecture. Daxing, with its capital, and Luoyang, with its east, manages Jiangdu (Yangzhou) in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The Grand Canal starts from Yuhang in the south, Zhuo Jun in the north, Jiangdu in the east and Chang 'an in the west, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers. It also used millions of people to build the Great Wall of Wan Li. During the reign of Yang Di the Great (605 ~ 6 18), Li Chun, a famous craftsman, built the world's earliest open-shouldered Anji Bridge in Zhao County, Hebei Province.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, after more than 100 years of stable development, the economy was prosperous, the national strength was strong, and the territory was far expanded, reaching its peak in Kaiyuan (7 14 ~ 74 1). We will continue to build huge palaces, courtyards and government offices in the capital Chang 'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. There are many famous local cities, commercial and handicraft cities in China, such as Guangling (Yangzhou), Quanzhou, Hongzhou (Nanchang), Mingzhou (Ningbo), Yizhou (Chengdu), Youzhou (Beijing), Jingzhou (Jiangling) and Guangzhou. With the development of industry and commerce, many new changes have taken place in the layout of these cities.
In the Tang Dynasty, a large number of pagodas and Taoist temples were built in capitals and local towns, which inherited the carved grottoes and Buddhist temples of the previous generation. The famous Wutai Mountain North Monk Hall, nanzenji Buddha Hall, Xi 'an Ci 'en Temple Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Jianfu Temple Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Xingjiao Temple Xuanzang Pagoda, Dali Chihiro Pagoda, and some cave temples have all been left to this day. During this period, the building technology has made new progress, and the wood frame has been able to correctly use the material properties. In architectural design, it is known that "wood" is the design standard of wooden frames. The imperial court has formulated a decree on building repair, and set up officials who master rope ink, draw drawings and manage construction.
