In search of America’s old covered bridges
America’s first documented wooden covered bridge was erected at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1805. Hundreds were constructed within two decades and at least 10,000 by the later 1800s. As settlers moved West, broad rivers were crossed with inventive structures incorporating timber trusses ingeniously developed by carpenters. Called covered bridges because of the roof and siding needed to protect the timber trusses, they became ubiquitous features…
China’s corridor bridges
Essentially unknown in the rest of the world and only recently appreciated in China, the globally significant 3000+ ‘corridor bridges’ ( langqiao ) in China far outnumber the better-known ‘covered bridges’ found in North America and Europe. Rivaling or exceeding those in the West in number, age, complexity, and architectural ambition, some of China’s outstanding timber langqiao in the mountains of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces are on the cusp of …
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…
China's Living Houses
It has been said that for the Chinese house is a living symbol, one endowed with meaning and the result of conscious action. This text reveals dwellings as the dynamic entities that express the vitality of Chinese families as each journeys through life. Ronald Knapp argues that the spaces and structures that comprise dwellings throughout China are replete with striking meanings, echoing the most fundamental aspects of Chinese culture. This book e…

China's Living Houses
It has been said that for the Chinese "a house is a living symbol," one endowed with meaning and the result of conscious action. As Ronald G. Knapp has shown in earlier studies of Chinese vernacular architecture, the spaces and structures that comprise dwellings throughout China are replete with striking meanings, echoing the most fundamental aspects of Chinese culture. China's Living Houses is the first book in any language to explore comprehens…

Urban Development in Modern China
This is a collection of studies that illustrate the geographical political and economic aspects of the Chinese city beginning with urbanization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and emphasizing contemporary urban patterns. Topics covered include recent growth and change in Chinas urban system policies favoring the growth of smaller urban places between 1949 and 1979 trends in urban planning and development and causes of urban s…
China's Island Frontier
Chinese Rural Dwellings in Taiwan
Rural dwellings in Taiwan express Chinese socio-cultural norms and communicate symbolic and structural elements of Chinese folk culture in addition to being the products of a rich architectural tradition. Tributary to patterns found along the southeast coast of China, Taiwan's early vernacular forms evoke the frontier conditions of their construction although later forms reveal their derivation from mainland prototypes
Historical Geography of Taiwan
Chinese Walled Cities
China's Island Frontier
Civilization over Savagery
Historians have recently begun to see the relationship of aboriginal policies in what traditionally have been considered widely separate historical and geographical experiences. These studies, using comparative methodologies, have focused on the origins, applications, and often disastrous results of policies designed to govern the affairs of native peoples. In a recent article that chided historians for their insular approach to United States Ind…
Chinese Walled Cities
Chinese Frontier Settlement in Taiwan∗
Chinese migration to Taiwan during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries transformed the island into a cultural and political outpost of the “Middle Kingdom.'’A patent system largely guided settlement and reclamation on the T'ao-yuan alluvial fan of northern Taiwan during the eighteenth century. The imprint of the patent system is still seen in the dispersed pattens of rural settlement and the ethnic composition and distribution of the pop…

Marketing and Social Patterns in Rural Taiwan
Specific economic and social patterns of a dispersed population in northern Taiwan reveal no basis for judging the village unit as the “self-contained world'’of the rural householder either today or, from the available information, in the traditional past. The data collected in the field portray a remarkable conformity of spatial preferences with the administrative unit at the township (hsiang-chen) level. It appears that the hsiang-chen constitu…
