摘要
Pingyao’s civic houses are an important component of the ancient city of Pingyao listed on the World Cultural Heritage. Pingyao still retains a list of 3,797 traditional rectangular courtyards worthy of protection, 387 of them superbly preserved. These old houses have kept alive the architectural flair of the Ming and Qing periods with their distinctive layout and design imbued with a host of cultural connotations. And indeed they are of much historical and cultural value, a reservoir for ethnic research and architectural case studies, and objects for both practical use and esthetic appreciation.
