Research on the Protection of Architectural Woodcarvings in China from Building Homogeneity: A Synoptic Review

Open access
Protecting Chinese architectural woodcarvings is crucial for safeguarding the cultural heritage, understanding the architectural evolution, artistic excellence, symbolism, and cultural identity. Architecture tends to be more and more homogeneous, producing effects on traditional architecture, erosion of cultural identity, blurred distinctions, decline in quality, and urban planning challenges. This article investigates the protection of Chinese architectural woodcarvings and the facts of architectural homogeneity by looking at documents and summarising the influence of architectural homogeneity on architectural woodcarvings and their protection. It provides theoretical support for the protection of architectural woodcarvings.
