Drawing on 35 poems, 23 prose essays, and 9 gazetteer entries, complemented by the pictorial source Yunxi Caotang Tu, and historical maps of Changzhou, the analysis applies a cross-media, multi-sensory framework and a triangulation approach to validate spatial and social evidence. The findings show that the literati transformed physical constraints into participatory practices through three interrelated mechanisms: (1) spatial permeability: linking private dwellings to shared waterways; (2) social diversity: forged through collaboration among literati and residents in festivals, performances, and gatherings; (3) collective memory: sustained by the repeated reproduction of Baiyunxi in texts, images, and seasonal rites. A controlled comparison with West Lake indicates that Baiyunxi’s publicness was community-generated at a micro scale, in contrast to state-managed, city-scale civic landscapes. The study offers empirically grounded evidence for the social production of space in late imperial China and expands Chinese garden historiography by identifying a mode of socially shared landscape-making rooted in imagination, collaboration, and participation, offering a historical precedent for bottom-up placemaking in high-density urban environments.","PeriodicalId":54876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147878188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Translating them into English facilitates cultural exchange. Large language models show promise for revitalizing Han Fu, but vertical domain large models (VSLMs) in this field have limited functions, and the capabilities of general-purpose large models (GPLMs) remain underexplored. This study evaluates GPLMs’ performance in translating architectural descriptions in Han Fu, using Yang Xiong’s Ganquan Fu as an example. The research employed a three-stage framework: (1) When 13 GPLMs translated 163 architectural terms, DeepSeek V3, Hunyuan-T1, and ERNIE Bot 4.5 Turbo ranked top via expert scoring. (2) Sentence segmentation and structural analysis showed that GPLMs achieved high punctuation accuracy (Dice Coefficient: 0.89 – 0.92), comparable to that of VSLM AI Taiyan, but struggled with intra-sentential relation extraction (Dice Coefficient: 0.21 – 0.30). (3) In the full-text translation from vernacular Chinese to English, which was evaluated via bilingual corpus alignment, ERNIE Bot 4.5 Turbo delivered the most complete versions, though architectural terminology required manual refinement. The findings highlight GPLMs’ potential in basic tasks but reveal limitations in semantic consistency and specialized knowledge transfer, emphasizing the need for hybrid human-AI workflows in revitalizing classical architectural literature.","PeriodicalId":54876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147877343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, research on thatched cottages primarily focuses on individual case studies, lacking a comprehensive examination of their historical trajectory. This article focuses on the historical development and scale evolution of thatched cottages, aiming to draw people’s attention to the cultural heritage of thatched cottages. Through literature analysis, 92 thatched cottages in the southern region of the Yangtze River in China from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty were sorted out. Draw a geographical distribution map of thatched cottages and study their development. Further research on Suzhou city revealed that during the Ming Dynasty, the distribution of thatched cottages in Suzhou tended to shift from suburban areas to urban areas. While the number of thatched cottages increased, their scale also decreased. Research has shown that the large-scale thatched cottages in the Tang and Song dynasties were related to the privatization of land policies, while the reduction of thatched cottages in the Ming dynasty was related to the intensification of the contradiction between people and land and the rapid development of urbanization.","PeriodicalId":54876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering","volume":"24 6","pages":"4787-4804"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/13467581.2024.2421264?needAccess=true","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147879603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first quantified building spatial traits, then delved into their syntactical relationships, guiding the final clustering. Cluster A, with 17 gardens, marries architectural diversity with spatial harmony, ensuring navigability. Cluster B’s seven gardens prioritize open landscapes, minimizing buildings for clarity. Cluster C, comprising two expansive gardens, blends architectural variety with spatial coherence, albeit with some navigational complexity. Unique, Cluster D, solely Yi Garden, presents a rich spatial and architectural tapestry, demanding deeper visitor engagement.
