Features: Traditional residences are a culture that remains unadorned, yet they are easily damaged. The traditional residential culture of any ethnic group will undergo radical changes as modern lifestyles penetrate, and anthropologists have been constantly warning us of this. Yu Chunming has been engaged in painting traditional residences for over 20 years. This is not only his personal endeavor but also a precious record preserved for our time to observe and understand the culture of traditional residences. This book selects and compiles works from the author's over 3,000 paintings, covering various types of traditional residences from the south to the north. To fully express his inner feelings for traditional residences, the author has tried various painting techniques, resulting in a diverse collection of artworks in the book, including oil paintings, lacquer paintings, watercolors, and tempera paintings.
