Study On Chinese Inner Space Construction In Qin And Han Dynasties

The study on inner space construction of Qin and Han Dynasties (from 211 B.C to220 A.D.)is carried out based on the social and cultural background of that period.Fromthe formation of political pattern of great unification to consolidation,from economicrecovery to prosperity,from the coexistence of multiple cultures to the formation ofmulti-culture led by Confucian culture,from national unified management of inner spaceconstruction to the change of formation of constructer group,all of these factors directlyor indirectly influence the way and level of inner space construction in that period.Besides,the author also hopes to study and summarize the form,organization method,interface decoration,indoor furniture and ornaments of that period.1.In Qin and Han Dynasties,architectural inner space construction began to beincluded in the national unified management system.In this period,the management oninner space construction was displayed through the relevant industrial managementrules—officers' system,the function of which was to manage the materials,colors andpatterns used for inner space construction to ensure the inner space organization anddecoration could correspond with criterion of that time.There had been many scholarsparticipating in the activities of inner space construction,of which the craftsmen fromHuang's painter school receded into the background,while scholar painters becamefamous.The carrier of painting also turned to architecture from utensil.Through drawingheaven and earth and all creatures in the indoor interfaces,the scholars participated in theinner space environment construction and led the van of scholars' participation in innerspace construction.2.Mature timer techniques began to be used in single building,which made thethree-dimension scale of inner space increased,and the space geometric conformationbecame"tall,capacious and bright".The layout still adopted traditional square shape;thespace combination of architectural group continued to focus on the space axes layout;compared with Pre-qin Dynasty,single building or buildings focused much more on thecontinuity of space cognition.The shape of inner space in Qin and Han Dynasties hadbasically possessed the space characteristics of Chinese classical architecture.3.The indoor interface construction focused on the combination of practicality anddecoration.Of which the practicality was regarded as basis,while the main decorationobjects were the practical architectural interface or component.The political culture of"great unification"in Qin and Han Dynasties urged to the formation of"grand Han" concept,which led the cultural trend advocate grandness;therefore,the people of thatperiod began to regard grandness as beautiful decoration style.The popular decorationconcept of"grandness"in Qin Dynasty and"hugeness"in Han Dynasty formed thecharacteristics of those dynasties,i.e."the beauty of spectacularity",which also providedan ideal model for inner space construction of late ages.4.From Qin and Han Dynasties,the drapery used outdoors before began to be usedindoors.From then on,a complete inner space organization system was formed.Theindependence of drapery structure made it unassociated with the architecture structure.The separate structure or enclosure space formed by the drapery laid foundation fororganization conformation of Chinese traditional inner space and indicated thecharacteristics of independence of Chinese traditional inner space construction.Becauseof the popularity of bed and creation of couch,the model of"setting when used"inpre-qin dynasty began to change to the model of"taking bed and couch as center",in thecourse of popularization of low furniture,the original custom of low-position dailyregime was still used and the furniture was still arranged according to the originalprinciples.
