Chinese Architecture
China's Early Mosques
This book explains how the worship requirements of the mosque and the Chinese architectural system converged. What happens when a monotheistic, aniconic, foreign religion needs a space in which to worship in China, a civilisation with a building tradition that has been largely unchanged for several millennia? The story of this extraordinary convergence begins in the 7th century and continues under the Chinese rule of Song and Ming, and the non Ch…
The Ritual Complexes and Stone Statues of the 6th to the 8th Centuries in Mongolian Steppe
Chinese Architecture in an Age of Turmoil, 200-600
Between the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 CE and the year 600, more than thirty dynasties, kingdoms, and states rose and fell on the eastern side of the Asian continent. The founders and rulers of those polities represented the spectrum of peoples in North, East, and Central Asia. Nearly all of them built palaces, altars, temples, tombs, and cities, and almost without exception, the architecture was grounded in the building tradition of China. I…

Changchuan Tomb No. 1 and its North Asian Context
Changchuan Tomb No. 1 (late fifth–sixth centuries CE), in modern Jilin Province, China, is one of 96 tombs with wall paintings that survive from the Korean kingdom of Koguryo. Here, the tomb serves as the starting point for an inquiry into Koguryo funerary architecture and painting. Not surprisingly, the tomb structure and many of the paintings of Changchuan Tomb No. 1 can be shown to borrow much from Han China, especially the Eastern Han (23–220…

Why Were Chang'an and Beijing so Different?
Historians of premodern Chinese urbanism have long assumed that the origins of the Chinese imperial city plan stem from a passage in the Kaogong Ji (Record of Trades) section of the classical text Rituals of Zhou which describes the city of the King of Zhou. Taking this description as the single source of all Chinese capitals, these historians have gone on to write that any Chinese imperial city constructed during the last 2,000 years not only ha…
