This book provides extensive information on craftsmen-built houses
in China. Though some inroads have been made in studying this folk
custom, this work represents the first comprehensive and systematic
monograph. The book examines the topic at the two main levels of
"history" and "theory". Combining historical textual research,
contemporary textual research, and field study, the book presents
systematic information on the folk custom of craftsmen-built houses
in China. At the level of theoretical research, it puts forward
some original opinions on the major theoretical issues, such as the
folk custom of religious belief, the boundary between superstition
and religion, and the relationship between oral literature and
ritual. The book provides a guide to help readers systematically
understand the folk custom of craftsmen-built houses in China.
Sharing valuable insights into Chinese architectural history, as
well as religious studies, cultural anthropology, and folklore, it
will appeal to researchers in the fields of folklore, cultural
anthropology, and architecture and can also serve as a popular
science book for understanding Chinese architectural culture.
