Abstract

The history of traditional architectural painting in ancient China is long and storied. Its existence not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of buildings but also serves to protect and extend the lifespan of wooden structures. The Ming and Qing dynasties represent the pinnacle of architectural painting development, during which the variety of paintings became more diverse, and the craftsmanship reached unprecedented heights. This paper primarily focuses on the major imperial gardens in the Beijing area during the Ming and Qing periods, analyzing the relationship between architectural paintings and garden structures, exploring their cultural significance and social value. Based on the achievements and issues revealed during their preservation, the paper offers insights and recommendations for the revitalization and utilization of related cultural heritage.
