内容简介《江南木构(英文版)》内容简介:The author of this book relied on field study and documents as basic methods of research, including over ten years of travel through the region south of the Yangtze. He investigated successive generations of wood constructions, trying in the context of a new cultural history to capture the original appearance of wood constructions south of the Yangtze.
This book includes a range of traditional architecture, and the technology and culture behind its creation. The rich selection of wood constructions includes various kinds of temples, palaces, balconies, and the social hierarchy's top-tier buildings. Of course, it also includes houses of common folk, workshops, and pedestrian bridges. Wood constructions south of the Yangtze, its construction, development, and overall history, form the essence of this book. In it, we explore the technological origins of its construction in the North and the problems facing its evolution.
作者简介LIU Jie was born in 1970 in Chongqing. In 1993, hegraduated from Southwest Jiao Tong University with adegree in architecture. In 1998 and 2006 respectively, hereceived a master's and a Ph.D in Architectural Theoryand History from Tongji University in Shanghai. In 2002,he became an associate professor in the Departmentof Architecture at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Since1995, LIU Jie has dedicated himself to the study ofancient wooden construction in southern China, and inthis field, he has presented over 30 papers both in Chinaand internationally. In recent years, he has published atotal of 7 books, including the following titles in order:Taishun, Kucun, An Environmental and EcologicalLook at Ancient Chinese Architecture, Lounge Bridges inTaishun, and Local Shouning.

序言The content of this book comes from my doctorate thesis "A Study of the Origins and Development of Wooden Architecture South of the Yangtze," written when I was a student at Tongji Uni- versity. After defending my thesis, some friends, including the friend of a publisher urged me to publish it. However, I knew full well that large portions of it were not ready to be published, and after careful consideration, I put the idea aside for the time being.
In the spring of 2005, I met the editor in chief of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press, Mr. ZHANG Tianwei. I was introduced to the editor through a friend who wanted me to help the chief edi- tor design and publish a series on architectural culture. Mr. ZHANG knew I had written a book-Taishun-four years before that was published by Sanlian Bookstores. Initially, the Press' first thought was to publish something similar to Sanlian Bookstore about "Local China." Later, through Mr. ZHANG and deep discus- sion with the editor GUAN Xinchao, we decided that this series would be different from the previous one. Although "Local China" was published ten years ago, it led the Chinese domestic market for illustrated works. Today, however, I figure the market for pub- lishers and the situation of readers, compared to the past, has changed considerably; it's hard for purely photographical books to approach their past brilliance. I hope this series, based on aca- demic research, will inspire readers to enjoy and pay closer atten- tion to the architectural culture surrounding them. My research fo- cused on the region south of the Yangtze, including Shanghai, which is exactly in the center, and the area near the ancient bor- der of the countries Wu and Yue in East Tang Village, Zhejiang Province, next to Shanghai. Naturally this series is called "Archi- tectural Culture South of the Yangtze."

C. The Integrative Concept
The contemporary philosopher REN Jiyu once said: "Culture is not something that dies, it has life and vigor, in possession of openness and in- clusiveness, different cultures will harmoniously blend when they meet. The surface-level components of living culture(such as clothes, food, tools) are easily absorbed by each other while the deeper levels and concepts (such as philosophical systems, ideas about value and ways of thinking) cannot be revealed at first sight and can only possibly blend when there is a deep cul- tural foundation and cultural attainment. This type of high-level integration can only take place among great nationalities with a solid cultural basis."
Chinese ancient architectural styles were formed by the integration of different architectural features all over China through the process of trade, immigration, and wars between clans and ethnic groups. The influence from external nationalities such as Ancient India and Greece should be in- cluded in such integration as well. The integrative concept in architecture is easily formed in China since the nation was essentially shaped by an amal- gamation of nationalities. The evolution and finalization of an established set was the result of the integration of architectural cultures in the north and the south. The birth of Chinese-styled stupas was an example of high-level integration——the fusion of ancient Chinese and Indian cultures that resulted in the emergence of Buddhist architectural culture in China.
During research on the historical evolvement of ancient Chinese ar- chitecture, an ignorance of the integrative concept will result in a failure to grasp essential points. "Architectural integration" simply is reality.
In conclusion, ancient Chinese wood construction originated through a process of " bionic architecture," developed through " architectural evolution" and improved by means of "ar
