Buddhist architecture in China began during the Han dynasty and was heavily influenced by Chinese aesthetics and culture. The architecture is especially symmetric and main buildings are set on a central axis. Pagodas are the integrating portion of Buddhist architecture and generally stand several stories high. Other important structures found in a Buddhist temple include gates, halls and grottos. |
