Chinese Architect Introduction
In the Paleolithic Age , men lived on fishery and hunting , and were sheltered in trees and caves . In the Neolithic Age , men engaged in raising animals and farming , and settled down by digging caves and by building simple houses with twigs and lumber , thus commencing their architectural activities . During the 3,000 years of the feudalist society , Chinese ancient architecture formulated gradually its unique system , coupled with a considerable progress in urban planning , garden designing , and house construction technique . In 221 B.C. , the First Emperor of the Qin Empire mobilized the resources of the country to do construction works on a massive scale , including A’Fang Palace , the Emperor’s Mausoleum , the Great Wall and the Dujiangyan Water-Conservancy Project . In the Later dynasties , many more massive construction works of lasting fame were carried out .
