Vol. 8, No. 1 Haoribao et al.: Arrangement Plan of Inner Mongolia Buddhist Temple The Classification and Analysis of Temple Arrangement Plan Based on the distinction of temple level and the classification of buildings, the arrangement of each temple is categorized. Firstly, according to the temple level, the temples can be roughly classified into three types, Province Level Temple, League Level Temple, and Banner Level Temple. Secondly, according to the relation between the most important building, the Mahavira Hall, the Buddha Hall, and the Assembly Hall, the temples can be classified into five types. Specifically, the temple form with the Mahavira Hall, which is integrated by the Buddha Hall and the Assembly Hall, and the temple form that the Buddha Hall and the Assembly Hall are separated are defined as Integrated Type and Separated Type. So, these temples can be classified as Integrated Type and Separated Type. Furthermore, the temples can be classified into the symmetric type and asymmetric type depending on whether the buildings are arranged symmetrically along the axis. Finally, it can be divided into seven types according to the temple's level and architecture (Table 3). Then, arrangement plan of the seven types is modeled in order to clarify the characteristics 26 (Figure 6). In order to make the building names easy to distinguish, the abbreviated names of all buildings are adopted in the Model Figure of each temple's arrangement. Please refer to the abbreviated names of each building in Table 2. Table 3.
