In the development of world history,high platform,as a form of architecture,has been the mainstream at least for a certain period of time.In Chinese history,before the 3rd century AD,high-platform buildings were the dominant type of architecture.From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties,the flourishing " high platform,beautiful palace" is the constant deepening of the connotation of high-platform architecture.High-platform Architecture represents the worship of mountains,heaven and power.Its types include palace buildings and departure gardens representing the world in the sun,tomb buildings representing the world after death,burial enclosures and ritual buildings representing belief worship.It provides a more realistic example for the study of the establishment of centralized power system.And through the deepening study of tall buildings,further explore the key factors behind it-the establishment and maturity of centralization.In the history of the world,high-platform architecture appeared very early in the birthplace of civilizations.Among the Nile River Basin,Mesopotamia,Iranian Plateau and ancient Mayan civilization in ancient Egypt,this kind of architecture model belongs to the Supreme authority,undoubtedly becomes the center of urban construction and the gathering place of the public's eyes,and it is also a memorial architectural model.Through the combing of Chinese and foreign high-platform architecture,we can see that the same architectural form was chosen in the early stage of world civilization,which is enough to prove the significance of high-rise buildings.High-platform architecture is a physical manifestation of politics,ideology and technology.While the trend of thought collides constantly,the progress of technology and the stability of political system cause high-platform architecture to undergo a series of processes from emergence,development,maturity to decline.Through the detailed combing of this process,we can have a further understanding of the emergence and maturity of the centralized system.
