Abstract
It is undeniable that human culture is an extremely diversified phenomenon. Taking region as a clue, this book introduces traditional Chinese villages in ten typical areas. Most of the villages have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List or the Tentative List, which reflect prominently the diversity of rural and traditional life. It is hoped that these sketchy texts can slightly increase readers’ knowledge of traditional architectural culture and provide some inspiration for architectural creation.
