What is "home"? It's the orderly hierarchy within a courtyard house, the tranquil dwelling under the eaves of a waterside house; it's the ancestral hall where ancestors are remembered, the hearth where people sit and chat late into the night; it's the warmth of a mother's cooking stove, and the distant pavilions in the heart of a traveler. This book, from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrates architecture, history, folklore, and art to systematically explore traditional Chinese family culture and residential forms. From family structure and traditions to various types of dwellings and home imagery, this book, richly illustrated and presented in an accessible style, offers a wealth of warm and insightful answers to the timeless theme of "home."
