Chinese Architecture Pattern

Chinese architecture is the embodiment of an architectural style that developed over millennia in China and influenced architecture throughout East Asia. Since its emergence during the early imperial period, the structural principles of its architecture have remained largely unchanged. The main changes involved diverse decorative details. Starting with the Tang dynasty, Chinese architecture has had a major influence on the architectural styles of Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Vietnam, and some influence on the architecture of Southeast and South Asia including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines.
