Abstrakt
An important role in forming the national image of traditional Chinese architecture was played by a specific polychromy, based on a combination of saturated contrasting colors, each of which was used on certain elements and could have a certain sacred meaning. The authors studied the colouristic solution of ancient architectural objects and works of art and identified the most typical examples of the use of colours. Differences in the use of colour in architecture and ancient fresco paintings of China in different periods were traced.
