I suggust a theory of creation in this article. when I explain Taoist buildings and discuss the relationship between the formation of folklore and personal basing on my theory and Wudang Taoist buildings'custom, I want to express that the ethnic migration and the changes of building's custom might influence Taoist buildings. I pay attention to the common character of building custom and propose a series of hypothesis and speculations in this article. Resultantly, it may lead to more diverse the schema of material world related to the past.Taoist building patterns have little change compared to its cultural evolution. It represents a folk psychology resulted from Chinese folk architecture and shows the most essential characteristics of Chinese thinking ways and technicism in agrarian times in mainland China. But I argue that when Chinese building folk began to be developde, it was influenced but not isolated, by the other building culture in the world, especially influenced by ethnic migration, its culture and historyThe theory about creation shows the relationships such as innovation and stability, the explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge in human culture. The theory in particular contains a lot of methods which folklore often uses, such as Hermeneutics, structural analysis, aspect of law, historical geography, cultural anthropology, architectural anthropology, essentialism, constructivism and so on. This article takes Taoist building as an important Chinese classical architectural samples to study the changes of building customs which resulted from immigration populations culture.This article outlines the development of human building's folk in the perspective of my theory and pay attention to the influence by other cultural factors. I also question the statement—which concluded for a long time by the academic community-that Taoism and Taoist building are native and reveal the influence of explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge. Any given folk of building includes other cultural factors. They are also associated with the migration of the population in deferent places and deferent times. Their meaning reveal in all patterns of buildings its culture, including the types of Chinese Taoist buildings. I think the heroes create the history of mankind and Folk in General is created by heroes too. Genius create classic and classic is prototype of the prevalent..Taoism architectural history is a sample for Chinese architectural history. It refers to the ways of aesthetics, pleasure and imagination concerned with accepter and creators for Chinese building.There are four ways ((A)prototype (B)selecting (C)creating (D)transfer) that the schemes of buildings generated. It gradually adds more new contents from A to D and shows more innovations. Hence, the sequence of ABCD is from lower to advance. Although the innovative contents gradually increase, the stability of theory decreases. From D to A, it is logical relationships, and from A to D is the sequence of generation. Correspondingly, there are four ways of accept which I name (E) prototype accept (F) selecting accept (G) creation accept (H) transfer accept. The sequence of EFGH also has four levels and it is gradually advanced from E to H. The different types of creation and acceptance are related and contribute to the evolution of culture.This theory can help us research generation and changing of culture, value of traditions and customs in culture. I explain Wudang Taoist buildings based on the theory. I conclude that Wudang Taoist buildings are composite, and logically there are factors of human architectural traditions. They are influenced by the building custom of two river basin, the Nile, West Asia and Central Asia. The character of Taoist buildings originate from themselves interlacing with other patterns of buildings.
