Can you tell me something about the history of Chinese architecture？

Chinese architecture has a long history spanning over 2,000 years, characterized by its unique style and usage of wooden structures. Notable examples include the ancient wooden architecture of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Great Wall of China built in the Ming Dynasty, and the traditional courtyard houses of the southern regions. Throughout history, environmental factors such as earthquakes and typhoons have influenced the evolution of Chinese architecture and led to developments in structural design.
