Abstract

Over thousands of years of time and space evolution, the ancient building construction theory/technology based on geomancy science has not only shaped the linear multiplication of ideas/knowledge in textual space, but also linked the multi-level three-dimensional logic relationship hidden behind the real space and spatial metaphor, including architectural narrative, phenomenon knowledge, history and culture, physical consciousness, and construction power, becoming a reference system and symbolic metaphor in-kind construction system having both function and signifying. Its architectural narrative theory system is divided into four dimensions: “Qi”, “Yi”, “Li” and “Shu (data)”, and constructs the construction order of two dimensions: Yi-image and buildings, and “Yi-data” and buildings, forming the series of construction narrative having symbolic connotations in fields, landscapes and spaces in the history of ancient Chinese architecture.
