Zhouyuan Stories｜The 'Large-Scale' Palaces of the Zhou People

📍Detailed Address: 'Building Houses Here - Zhouyuan Architectural Sites and Western Zhou Palace Architecture Exhibition' is located in the ground exhibition hall of Baoji Zhouyuan Museum. It introduces the Zhouyuan architectural site in detail through display boards, helping us to fully understand Western Zhou architecture. ❤Recommended Reason: Archaeological discoveries have found a large number of palace (court, ancestral temple, etc.) building foundations from the pre-Zhou to Western Zhou periods at the Zhouyuan site. Among them, three representative palace building groups: Qishan Fengchu Building Group, Fufeng Zhaozhen Building Group, and Fufeng Yuntang-Qizhen Building Group, are speculated to be the ancestral temples and palaces of the Zhou rulers. All three building groups were abandoned in the late Western Zhou period. This can be understood as a result of the fall of the state and the destruction of the city, a consequence of history. 🌟Highlight Features: Through the exhibition, it can be seen that the Zhou people had moved out of 'clay-covered clay pits' and started building houses on the ground, even having more demands for their living environment. They used tiles to cover the entire roof, built large-scale structures, and decorated them luxuriously. ✅Must Experience: The magnificent achievements of Western Zhou architecture are evident.
