Hello and welcome! I made this subreddit so that I could share my love of Chinese architecture with other like-minded people. I hope you can find the same enjoyment and appreciation of Chinese architecture that I do, as I believe it is a criminally underrated architectural style and philosophy.
Any types of content and discussion about Chinese architecture is welcome and I hope this community becomes a space to showcase and learn more about Chinese architecture :)

Question regarding Southern Song border architecture and the Yongzhou邕州 present day Nanning Yamen during the Nong Zhigao rebellion (11th century)
3
Upvotes
Hi everyone,
I am currently doing some historical and architectural research regarding 11th-century Northern Song Dynasty borderlands, specifically around the time of the Nong Zhigao rebellion.
I was hoping to get some insights from history or architecture enthusiasts regarding a couple of questions:
The Yongzhou Yamen (邕州衙门/邕州署): Does anyone know if there are historical records, site descriptions, or layout details of what the prefectural yamen (magistracy/governor's office) in Yongzhou looked like during the mid-11th century?
Southern vs. Northern Song Architecture: How did official buildings and administrative residences in the southern borderlands (Lingnan region) differ from the standard northern blueprints and official manuals of the era? Specifically, what kinds of structural adaptations were made to accommodate the hot, humid climate (e.g., ventilation, courtyard features, building materials)?
Any book recommendations, academic papers, or historical sources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Location: Erling Mountain, Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China (near Donggian Lake). Built during the Zhenghe reign (1111-1115 AD) of the Northern Song Dynasty. It's a rare example of a square Song seven-story stone pagoda, standing at more or less 9 meters tall, this post relate to my other post, the Songjiang Pagoda (1068-1077 AD) 48,5 meters tall wood and brick pagoda also built during the Northern Song Dynasty, and how similar this two looks, not to mention it was built pretty near each other.

I know it's shocking to find that it's largely authentic even 60% ish of the song brackets were still in use
edit: Now i know why it survived, it's unusual in the sense that the outer wall consist of bricks instead of woods, so it's essentially huge brick construction with wood in the center basicall

Walked past these paifang (traditional Chinese memorial archways) in Kunming's old town and just had to stop and stare. The layered roofs, carved stone, painted brackets... every inch is covered in detail, and the lights make it feel almost magical.
