Abstract

This study takes the architectural images in the Yongle Palace murals as the research object and systematically examines their correspondence with the structural features of Yuan Dynasty residential buildings. The research finds that the architectural images in the murals are highly consistent with the physical remains of the Yuan Dynasty in terms of overall layout and spatial sequence, especially in the characteristics of courtyard-style layout and "front hall, rear bedroom" spatial organization. Although the representation of architectural components is simplified, the key structural features accurately convey the technical characteristics of Yuan Dynasty architecture. The study confirms the significant value of the Yongle Palace murals as research materials for the architectural history of the Yuan Dynasty, while also pointing out the need to be cautious about the influence of artistic processing when using image materials. This achievement not only provides new visual evidence for the study of Yuan Dynasty residential buildings but also establishes a reference framework for evaluating the historical value of architectural images.
