Ming Architecture

Ming architecture refers to the style of buildings and structures developed during China's Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). It is known for its elegant, balanced symmetry, use of durable materials like brick and wood, and intricate decorative details such as carved motifs and painted accents. Notable features include grand palaces, temple complexes, and city walls that emphasize harmony and order. Ming architecture often incorporates traditional Chinese design principles, like courtyards and roofing styles, creating aesthetically pleasing and functional structures that have influenced Chinese architecture for centuries.
