I know I'm going on and on about the architectural details in Shenyang, but I really found them fascinating. I'm usually not a big fan of over-detailed ornamentation in architecture: I tend toward the Chicago School of American architecture. But Chinese design seems to be somehow both ornate and integrated, and I think that's a crucial virtue. It's the tendency of minute details to overwhelm the grand structure that, I think, makes me dislike it. When it fits the overall structure, an attention to details is lovely.I was especially impressed by the details on the rain spouts, which I thought were very cool. It's not great art, perhaps, but every piece seemed to be hand-crafted.
Can someone please tell me why this is the #1 most-accessed entry on my blog, as per Blogger's count? It's not a fluke, this has been the case for years now, and I totally fail to understand. Surely there must be someone or other linking to this page, but I don't know who it is. Enlighten me, please, as to who is my traffic-benefactor! :-)
