Chinese: dominate Japan: detached Korea:harmony ..... From architecture u learn a lot about what makes us all unique....i wonder how u would represent Thai culture through architecture

[@hritesh7]

Japan : harmony People are getting wrong impression through internet that Japanese are cold hearted just like how dog person describe the nature of cat

[@JayCK-se7uf]

It makes me wonder about the overall mindset towards nature outside of architecture too. Japans concept of bonsai is also dominate, no? The concept of bonsai seems to be to control nature completely. Even daisugi seems to be an exertion of power over nature. I wonder why this is different to their architecture.

bs, EVERYTHING In korea is copy from china

[@qingyumao348]

That's a very ignorant generalisation. Different Chinese eras and regions have unique styles. Styles are also different depending on use.

[@ykokog1813]

​@@qingyumao348You are right. But that statement is not wrong. This is particularly highlighted by the way the royal gardens of the three countries were decorated.

Living in New Zealand, Hanok Korean architectural design is pleasing to the naked eye, that for myself, ignorant of structure, historical asethetics till modern day 2021 keeping in mind the beauty of preservation. My heart is singing...thank you Ana

[@clearsky_cm]

Hanok is a traditional Korean architecture. Representative buildings belonging to Hanok are 'gi-wa-jip' and 'cho-ga-jip'. Both houses have very beautiful harmony with nature. The heating system used in hanok is 'ondol'. Ondol is a method of heating the air which is under the floor. This system can be used for marketing in foreign countries because it needs only wood to burn.

Я слушаю музыку Кim Taehyung and Suga.Корея ,думаю,гордиться ими.Заинтересовалась историей,природой и традициями Кореи.Это интересная,замечательная страна.Мне всё больше и больше нравиться о ней смотреть.

[@hezekiahthompson6817]

This video takes great effort to tell you how distinct and special Korean design is from Chinese and Japanese design. "We don't dominate nature nor do we recreate it; we blend in with it."

[@lawrence4318]

Looks like a strong influence from Daoism's emphasis on the harmony of man and nature. For centuries Korea seems to have been alternately affected by the principles of Chinese Daoism and/or Confucianism. But I agree that Korea has superimposed its own unique beauty on these designs.

It's called fengshui, another chinese invention that koreans stole it

[@intreoo]

​@M9Sounds like you are not familiar with Chinese architecture with this comment. Korean temples have a lot more differences then you can see. The green color paintings on the bottom of the roofs are dancheong, which predate Chinese influence. The color scheme of the buildings also utilizes more moderate and less flashy colors. Red is more maroon and the roofs are always dark blue or black. While the roof and overall structure are very similar to Ming Chinese styles, the color palette is the main difference. Due to the mountainous nature of Korea too, Korean temples were made with Feng shui, not Chinese, but rather Feng shui that matches the nature around. While it is true that all 3 Sinospheric nations admired Chinese architecture, most Korean temples were made to match the nature and harmonize, not try and imitate Chinese styles. Good point though.

[@intreoo]

@@dearcoolz not steal, using. With a neighbor like the massive China, it would be hard not to be influenced by them.

[@intreoo]

@M9 lmao did i ever deny Chinese influence? i was just pointing out the major differences between the 2 architectures. you don't seem familiar with the differences seeing how you saw both as the same. you brought up a point I didn't even say in my answer lmao

[@jinsoolee891]

Far east architecture has heavy roof instead thick wall of western style building

有谁知道4:50开始的音乐叫什么？这是中国故宫的音乐，我找不到，如果有人知道，请告诉我，我将不胜感激！ Does anyone know what the music that starts at 4:50 is called? This is the music of the Chinese Forbidden City, I can't find it, if anyone knows, please let me know, I would appreciate it! 4시50분에 시작하는 음악이 뭔지 아시는 분? 이것은 중국 자금성의 음악입니다。찾을수없습니다。아시는분알려주세요。감사합니다！

They didn’t even use the right picture for nijo. And also Japanese castles are not palaces.

[@user-ro5ox5ho2e]

talk about last name matters ' ?

[@phsanlouis8500]

Why return those Crown Estate/Lands to the Descendants instead?

[@dearcoolz]

Conclusion: fengshui style

[@intreoo]

Yep, especially since Korea has a lot of mountains, the palaces were made with intentions of harmony with the nature.

[@Flyingpotatos]

I think korean architectures are more look like Chinese rather than Japanese.

[@user-gp1bt4vm3r]

The closer you are to a country, the more influence you're going to see. But the difference is the details. Korean architecture has more details than China and Japan.

[@CoolNumber1]

@@user-gp1bt4vm3r Nah korean is more like hybird of japanese and chinese. Japanese culture came from China pretty much.

[@user-gp1bt4vm3r]

@@CoolNumber1 It's a downstream influence. Both Korea and Japan were influenced by China. They just happened to make their own culture from that. But if you read the history, Korea has a big influence in Japan as well.

Both Korea and Japan we're heavily influenced by Chinese architecture which must not be forgotten.

[@iloveicecream127]

Yeah that kind of happens when you're right next to them lol. Look at France Spain UK similar architecture.

[@going_well4577]

No. It's not. Korean history is longer then Chinese! According to Chinese history there's many countries founded and collapsed within no longer then 300 hundred years. Even Mongolia Kublai Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan dynasty. Actually name of china founded 1912. So there's no pure traditions exist. China is melting and mixed society. How did you figure Korean architecture influenced from China? Where did you learn histories?

[@going_well4577]

@M9 That's typical Chinese theories. Korea is unacceptable distortion histories.

[@going_well4577]

@M9 China and Korea has overall differ histories. China has own history so as Korea has been more then five thousands own history. Name of China how long ago established before that China never had one nation more then 300~400 years. But Korea has racially homogeneous nation. Not China!!!

[@going_well4577]

@M9 DNA is most proof. BTW most all Koreans not accept Chinese distorted histories. Period!! China has No veracious histories. Bluff!
