This article is devoted to the study of the origins of the basic principle of China's normative architecture: the principle of modularity. The author shows the most ancient examples of modularity manifestation both in the spatial structure of buildings in early dynasties and in wooden framework construction. Based on the analysis of proportions of the oldest wooden structures in China and Japan of the 6th-8th century, the main modular values used in Chinese wooden architecture were identified. The obtained data were also compared with the rules for modular construction, recorded in the treatise “Yingzao Fashi”, dating back to the 12th century.
