China is a country with a history of five thousand years of ancient civilization, long history and splendid ancient culture has created, the ancient building is an important part of it.Many of the ancient masters of architecture and the emergence of architectural masterpieces, many handed down to create a palace, tombs, temples, gardens, houses and so on. However, in the course of the development of ancient architecture, the high-profile is a style which appeared early and lasted long. In the helotism society and feudal society, the ruling class emulatively built this kind of structure to flaunt their power and dignity. The expert of Chinese architect Liu Zhiping considered: "To build the high-profile is for showing the advantage of a commanding position overlooking the ground below and it also has a meaning of defense. " And some idea, like "high pavilion, beautiful palace", "the emperor live all around the country and no glorious makes no power ", are all the foundational idea to build the "the high-profile" . Except the royal buildings, there are also some other need to build the "the high-profile". First, for astronomical observation, we called them lingtai, guanxingtai, huoxingtai. For astronomical observation the pavilion have to avoid the housed and trees, so they need to be on the mountain or some upland; Second, there are some military architecture which is for defense, such as the city palace, tower, watchtower, enemy units, corner Taiwan, beacon towers and so on. And also, we built some religion architectures for getting peace for the stylites. These buildings are always on the devious mountain, and in the temples, people always built pavilions to construct a mysterious atmosphere or to express the adjacency with god. The earliest of building and living on the high-profile is to avoid the disadvantages and give full play to the advantages mainly for avoiding the flood or wild animal, and then because of the grandeur, the high-profile became the ruling class tool for flaunting their fortune. Yet admittedly, the high-profile was also for defense except the flaunting.Henan Province located at the central plains in China, which has long history and splendid cultural relic and still keep luxuriant above or under ground precious recourses. Especially the high-profile that preserved all over the province-some of them have already become the iconic architectures of the historical and cultural cities, some of them have already become the key cultural relics protection units, some are the World heritage which protected by the international associations. Not only they are carefully protected by the country, but also become the beloved cultural paradise. Our province has more quantities and more diverse of the high-profile according to the historical documents and the architectures are still remains. For instance, the observatory built in Yuan Dynasty in Deng Feng belongs to astronomic-architecture genre; The Tian Zhong Ge and Si Yue palace-architecture genre; The symbolic architecture of an ancient and historical city--Dragon Pavilion in Kai Feng ; the Qing Liang Tai of White Horse Temple in Luo Yang which used for Buddhist cultural communication and the Gan Lu Tai of Shao Lin Temple located at the west of the mannose units and so on. This essay shows the diverse functions and precious values of the high-profile in HeNan in different aspects and dimensions by researching and analyzing the idea of structures, the classification of materials, the art of postures, the methods of board, the characteristics of time, so that people would realize the importance of this genre of ancient architecture more clearly. The important development in architectural history is the widespread use of tile brick and the appearance of the high-profile using for palaces and royal architecture which break the partial recognition of Chinese traditional architectures, the cultural meanings and postures are still valuable for the design of nowadays architectures The researches about the high-profile are quite inadequate the results are few in China currently. In this case, arrange and research this kind of architectures and protect them has a lot of important reality meanings for enrich the content of the architectural history, make the historical and cultural cities better, protect the ancient garden and related historical architectures. It will has increasingly obvious effects in this time we reinforce the cultural infrastructure.
