Standard Design for Buddhist Temple Construction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Standard Design for Buddhist Temple Construction is a Chinese language text written by Dàoxuān in the early Tang Dynasty. It described a design for Buddhist temples influenced by mainstream Chinese architecture, and based upon a traditional layout composed of multiple, related courtyards. That tradition can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
