Features: To facilitate readers' reading while ensuring that the Chinese translation remains as faithful as possible to the original content and style, we have made unified agreements from different perspectives: All layouts strictly adhere to the original book's style; Some extremely minor text in figures and a small number of texts that are difficult to determine in translation are retained as the original; Due to cultural and linguistic differences, some terms are difficult to be accurately translated into simple Chinese vocabulary. Sometimes, a sentence or a paragraph of text is needed as supplementary explanation. In such cases, we adopt the method of adding translation notes below the figures and text. For some abbreviations and terms with translation notes that appear multiple times in the book and it is impractical to add notes at every occurrence, we provide a unified explanation in the preface of the revised edition. Due to the differences in architectural culture between China and Japan, some parts of the book that involve traditional Japanese architectural culture are not elaborated in detail in the compilation of mere reference materials. Therefore, it is recommended that readers further explore the background knowledge of this content by reading relevant books (e.g., architectural history textbooks and reference materials).
