Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful video! I've been stuck in a sort of research block for my thesis this semester- I want to do a paper on depictions of Chinese architecture in paintings and murals. This video I think is going to help so much, so I can do more research into the murals and caves that you mentioned.
Looking at these drawings, clearly the temple designs of many in Japan were very influenced by the Tang period, including the red and white walls and green windows. Is a pity we do not see these in China anymore
I really appreciate your videos. I hope to study and research East Asian architecture in China someday, and your videos are very insightful regarding Chinese architecture. Also do you have Nancy Steinhardt's book on Chinese Architecture? I'd really recommend it.
Ahh thank you so much for the kind comment, and all the best to achieving your hope, I'm sure you can do it ^___^ I have not, but I will check it out right now!! Thanks so much for the rec!!! ^____^
