Description
Space and Function is a study of Buddhist State Monasteries in medieval East Asia. The research is based on archaeological evidence and focuses on how the monastery's layout developed with the evolution of Buddhist philosophy and practice.Building on earlier literature regarding the development of Buddhist monastery layouts, Dr He relies on his two decades of excavation experience of relevant monasteries in central China. His assessment of the development of state monasteries between the fifth and seventh century AD is examined in depth.Scholars interested in Buddhism, Chinese architecture, and the history of medieval China and East Asia will find this work informative and valuable.
