The origin of blue tile culture is early and has been passed down to various dynasties.According to historical records,as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty,various types of tiles appeared,including slab tiles,tube tiles,herringbone broken ridge tiles,and cylindrical tile nails.At this time,the design of the tile surface is relatively simple,with the main manufacturing goal of pursuing a smooth and flat tile surface.
In the Spring and Autumn Period,in addition to slate tiles,tile roofs also appeared.At this time,the design of tile surfaces began to become more complex,and artistic beauty was also pursued.The surface of tile roofs had beautiful decorative patterns such as raised gluttony patterns,vortex patterns,rolling cloud patterns,and paving patterns.This change greatly promoted the development of architectural culture at that time.Later on,the Wadang culture was also preserved and passed down.In a site from the Western Zhou Dynasty in Shaanxi,a large number of residual tiles were unearthed,with nearly half of them incorporating Wadang designs.
Green,taken from blue,is better than blue.”Blue is a color that lies between blue and green.On the vast green earth and under the blue sky above,the roof covered with blue tiles displays a unique charm.It has a moderate opening and closing,steady and elegant,lively and elegant.When looking up,it also makes people yearn for it.
