'''''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 dynasty|Shang]] and [[Zhou dynasty|Zhou]] dynasties.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mountain Gate |url=https://www.buddhatoothrelictemple.org.sg/mountain-gate |website=Buddha Tooth Relic Temple |access-date=October 12, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last= Jindi Yao|first= Jian Jin|title=Value of Planning and Design of Buddhist Temples in Hebei Province, China |url=https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/OHI-03-2016-B0007/full/html?skipTracking=true |journal=Open House International |date= 2016|volume= 41|issue= 3|pages= 44–49|doi= 10.1108/OHI-03-2016-B0007|access-date=October 12, 2023|url-access= subscription}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last= Sokolova|first= Anna |title=Building and Rebuilding Buddhist Monasteries in Tang China: The Reconstruction of the Kaiyuan Monastery in Sizhou |journal=Religions |date= 2021 |volume= 12 |issue= 4 |page= 253 |publisher=Ghent University |doi= 10.3390/rel12040253 |doi-access= free }}</ref>
