International Dissemination Research on China's Covered Bridge Culture by American Scholars Knapp and Miller

My academic bond with American scholar Ronald G. Knapp originated from an international symposium on traditional Chinese dwellings held in 1991. This academic encounter fostered a decades-long profound friendship and continuous scholarly exchanges spanning over thirty years. At the International Symposium on Ronald G. Knapp’s Research of Chinese Traditional Dwellings hosted by the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University on 5 December, 2018, I delivered a speech systematically introducing his fruitful achievements and academic value in the research of traditional Chinese residential architecture.
