In ancient Chinese architecture, the mortise-and-tenon structure reached a very high level of artistry and craftsmanship. This structure involves carving a protruding part, called a \"tenon,\" on one end of a piece of wood, and carving a matching recess, called a \"mortise,\" on another piece of wood. When the tenon and mortise fit together, they can be tightly joined without the need for nails or glue. This method not only made buildings stronger and more stable but also demonstrated the wisdom and creativity of ancient Chinese craftsmen.
在中國古代建筑中,榫卯結(jié)構(gòu)發(fā)展到了極高的藝術(shù)和技藝水平。這種結(jié)構(gòu)通過在木頭的一端雕刻出凸出的部分,稱為“榫”,在另一塊木頭上雕刻出與之匹配的凹槽,稱為“卯”。當(dāng)榫和卯結(jié)合時,它們無需釘子或膠水就能緊密連接。這種方法不僅使建筑更加堅固和穩(wěn)定,還展現(xiàn)了中國古代工匠的智慧和創(chuàng)造力。
