Ancient Chinese architecture did not completely avoid the use of rivets, but primarily relied on the mortise-and-tenon structure, which is one of the important characteristics of ancient Chinese architecture. The following is a detailed analysis of the use of the mortise-and-tenon structure in ancient Chinese architecture, as well as the use of rivets in certain cases:
The Widespread Application of Mortise-and-Tenon Structure
Definition and Principle of Mortise-and-Tenon Structure
: The mortise-and-tenon structure is a connection method that combines concave and convex parts. The protruding part is called the tenon, and the recessed part is called the mortise. By inserting the tenon into the mortise, two or more wooden components can be tightly connected together. This structure can not only bear a large load but also dissipate certain energy through deformation under external forces such as earthquakes, thereby reducing the seismic response of the structure.
Historical Origins of Mortise-and-Tenon Structure
: The history of the mortise-and-tenon structure can be traced back to the Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang, which dates back seven thousand years. It is a great invention of ancient Chinese architectural technology. Widely used in ancient architecture, furniture, toys, and other fields, it reflects the wisdom of ancient Chinese craftsmen.
