中国传统民居(英文)

内容简介

In prehistoric times， dwellings were crude， and tended to be similar in design the world over； they differed only in the availability of local building materials and the topography they had to adapt to。 　　As the techniques of production improved， the styles of clothing， cuisine， transportation， etc。 of different peoples gradually took on their own national colors and cultural characteristics。 The same was true for the shelters that people built to dwell in， and a wide diversity of styles formed all over the world。 Chinese residences， in particular， occupy a unique place in the history of world architecture。 Color Illustrations。目录The Development of Traditional Chinese Residences The Artistic Features of Traditional Chinese Residences　Proper Layout:The void Accompanied by the Solid　Tranquil Interior Surrounded by Solid Walls 　Displaying a picturesque Tone　Simplicity Elegance and Connection Between Exterior and Interior　Tasteful Decoration in Bright Colors Poetic and Melodious Beauty 　Poetic and Melodious BeautyMajor Architectural Forms of Traditional Chinese Residences　The Courtyard Houses of Beijing 　Residences in Qixian County，Shanxi Province 　Cave Dwellings 　Residential Buildings in Southern Anhui Province 　Residential Buildings in the Southern Region of Rivers and Lakes 　Red—brick Dwellings in Quanzhou 　Earthen Buildings in Fujian Province 　Fortified Compound in Southern Jiangxi Province 　The U—shaped Compounds of the Hakka 　Fortified B uildings in Kaiping 　Flagstone Buildings in Guizhou Province 　Residential Buildings of the Koreans 　Mongolian Yurts 　Residential Buildings of the Uygurs 　Houses on Stilts 　Residential B uildings in Lij iang 　The Houses of the Bai 　Tibetan Fortified Manor Houses 　Appendix　Locations of Major Types of Chinese Residences.
