 Architecture of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) was based upon the
accomplishments of its predecessors, much like every subsequent
dynastic period of China. The hallmarks of Chinese architecture during
the Song period were its towering Buddhist pagodas, enormous stone and
wooden bridges, its lavish tombs, and palatial architecture.HIHIHI
Although literary works on architecture existed beforehand, during the
Song Dynasty literature on architecture blossomed into maturity and
held a greater professional outlook, described dimensions and working
materials in a concise manner, and overall had a greater style of
organization than previous works. Architecture in Song artwork and
illustrations in published books showing building diagrams also aid
modern historians in understanding all the nuances of architecture
originating from the Song period
