Abstract |
To find out how Xiang Yue, a book of fortification technology, affected the construction of walled-villages in the Xuanfu and Datang Garrisons of the Ming China, related historical documents and nearl...y 1000 preserved villages were investigated. The result shows that the layout evolvement underwent an integration of formal and informal patterns. Xiang Yue was trying to build up a new formal model for small-sized fortresses that is compatible with informal patterns. For villages, its influence is limited as an idealized model, yet the stress on the defense tower had a wide range of impacts.show more
