Standard Design for Buddhist Temple Construction is a Chinese language text written by Daoxuan in the early Tang dynasty. It described a design for Buddhist temples influenced by mainstream Chinese architecture, and based upon a traditional layout composed of multiple, related courtyards. This architectural tradition can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.[1][2][3]
