Abstract  The splendid architectural achievements of ancient China are inseparable from level measurement technology. The Wujing zongyao and Yingzao fashi are the earliest and most complete works that graphically illustrate and explain the level in pre-modern China, the graphics and text do no match exactly. Despite many years of archaeological excavations and fieldwork, finds of levels and associated objects are still rare. Based on previous research, the original literature was used to recreate a Song Dynasty level, and related simulation experiments were carried out. The error precision was compared with that of amodern optical level.

Key words： level      restoration      measurement technology      Song Dynasty
