Features: This book first presents the ethnic types of residential architecture of 10 Muslim ethnic groups in China. It then conducts a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the natural environment, social background, and cultural characteristics that contribute to the emergence of such special residential architecture, as well as the religious regulations of Islam. Further, starting from the specific physical context of residential architecture, the book delves into its construction, layout, and decoration—key elements. Through the author's extensive, thorough, and meticulous research on these two aspects, a cultural model of Chinese Muslim residential architecture is ultimately constructed.
