Surveying and measuring of ancient architecture is a significant component of the Chinese architectural history course. Hexi Corridor traditional architecture is a considerable regional architecture of China. However, the Chinese architectural history course teaching is based on north official style architecture and students know less about such kind of architecture as Hexi Corridor, which requires teachers to actively explore and seek reasonable teaching methods to guide students understand it. Based on the surveying and measuring of Wuwei Confucius Temple in 2010 and Minqin Shengrong Temple in 2013, we analyzed how to promote students’ understanding of regional architecture and complete teaching schedule under different conditions.
