Abstract:Among over 80 surviving Theravada Buddhist temples in Dai and Blang ethnic villages of Jinggu County, Yunnan, the main halls typically exhibit a distinctive architectural integration of Han and Dai traditions. Based on field research and literature review, this study employs a typological approach to analyze the structural characteristics of these halls, with a focus on the integration of Han-style construction techniques within their longitudinal frameworks. The findings reveal that, within the regional cultural context, the organic connection between entrance pailou and the main structure facilitates a spatial transition from secular to sacred. This process has produced diverse structural combinations—such as staggered, layered, and multi-storeyed configurations—reflecting continuous experimentation and craftsmanship. These practices provide theoretical insights and case references for understanding localized architectural integration and adaptive strategies in multicultural settings.
