1. Chinese Vernacular   Architecture.
   China is a   large agricultural country with a long history. The variety of its geography   and the communication between its different parts also gave great influence   to its vernacular architecture. So far the research on vernacular   architecture, especially the relation between architecture and social life,   is far from enough. Most scholars haven’t realized the value of vernacular   culture.

  As Professor Chen Zhihua   said, Chinese Vernacular Architecture is the best historic evidence to   eastern agricultural civilization. There are three cultural factors that have   made China different from the west: clanism, pantheism and Keju (national   exam for selecting officials). These three factors have responses in   architecture respectively, which are ancestral halls, temples and educational   buildings. Normally, the three types of buildings, which are combined with   houses and others, assemble in one village to form an organic cultural   system. A village should therefore be a basic unit to research or protect   vernacular architecture in China. To collect and study villages in different   places, different styles, different economic backgrounds, different ethnic   groups and so on, we are then able to establish an integrated spectrum of   Chinese Vernacular Architecture and Culture.

  However, the fact is   that we have no time to complete this important job, since China’s   modernization comes so fast. Vernacular buildings locate mostly in   countryside and with the large number of farmers entering cities as migrant   workers, they bring city architecture back to their hometowns then they   demolish the old houses to make rooms for the new. In 2006, the central   government issued the policy of Building New Countryside. This   policy has speeded up the demolishment of old buildings in villages throughout   the whole country. A lot of traditional villages had been leveled before they   were discovered by scholars.

  Now we are standing at a   critical point. During the next ten years, China will complete the change   from traditional to modern. The mission of the scholars of my generation is   to study and preserve Chinese vernacular buildings as many as possible.

2.  Recent Books: A   series of five on The Xianxia Trail.
    Xianxia Trail is an   overland connection of the Qiantang River to the Min River. These two rivers   were most important in history of China next to the Yangtse River and the   Yellow River. The trail is 120 kms long and it gave great commercial   influence to the towns, villages and temples alongside. These settlements and   buildings show us a perspective quite different from what we have known about   traditional (and agricultural) China. Xianxia trail is also an extended part   of the Ocean Silk Road. The five books were published by Shanghai Sanlian   Bookstore.

3. Doctoral dissertation: An   Architectural Study on Chinese Ancient Opera-buildings.
    The dissertation   discusses the architectural form of ancient theatres and its historic   transition. It also concerns relevant factors in society, economy and   religion. Watching drama was an important festival activity in history of   China, especially in the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127), when Li-Fang   System slacked and urban economy rose.

4.  Book: The   Castle-villages in Yu County.
    The castle-villages in   Yu County are evidences to the historic conflicts between the agricultural   and the nomadic. In the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), given the frequent   intrusion from northern nomadic troopers, the Chinese Central government   decided to rebuild the Great Wall and adopted the policy of station troops   (Tun Jun) so as to protect the capital. The people along the frontiers built   a large number of castle-villages for self-defense. In the Qing dynasty   (1644-1911), the military function of these castle-villages was weakened   while the living and commercial function was more in need. Public buildings   of different types and scales, such as temples and opera-buildings, emerged   inside and outside the castles. Yu County is the only place that has preserved   so many castle-villages and their affiliated buildings in China.

5.  Book: Two   Ceramic villages: Saningkou & Zhaoxian.
    Sanqingkou Village   is located in Southeast China while Zhaoxian Village is in North China. The   villagers lived on porcelain production from about 1700 until 1990s A.D. All   kinds of their buildings, including the ancestor hall, the temples, the   houses, the kilns, the factories and so on, are disposed according to   porcelain production. The comparison between them is interesting and instructive,   since they are different in architectural style, production and the social   structure.

6.  An ongoing case   study: A Hani Village called the Quanfu Middle Zhai.
    Hani people   have a long history of living in the Ailao Mountains to the south of Hong River.   Since they had never invented text before 1950s, however, their settlements’   history relied only on wizards’ memory and villagers’ oral transferring. This   resulted in the difficulty for the scholars nowadays to know the construction   and development of a Hani village. In the Quanfu Middle Zhai, a young and   modern Hani village that emerged 47 years ago, it is possible for us to   interview the early residents who have been living here since the beginning   of the village. Based on this, we may analyze in detail its birth and   development.

7.  A Digital Library of   SRCA
    The Society for   Research in Chinese Architecture, established by Zhu Qiqian in 1930, was led   by Liang Sicheng and Liu Dunzhen form 1931-1945. This project was a   collaborative research processed from 2000-2003 by three departments: School   of Architecture, Library of the university and Department of Computer   Science. As one of the main members, I was in charge of resource collecting,   metadata standards constituting (with librarians) and mark-up regulating

   8.  Traditional architecture   investigation in Hong Kong (twice, 1998 & 2000). Led by Professor Guo Daiheng, I was a member of her   team.
