Abstract
Historians and patriots talk about the great Chinese civilisation, which has produced so many inventions and spectacular relics. How much more would they be able to enthuse about if so much had not been lost through the ages? Ancient Chinese architecture, with its emphasis on harmony with nature, was one of those losses until recently, when a concerted effort by devotees and a team of architects and builders led to a full-scale recreation of a Tang Dynasty temple complex in the form of the Chi Lin Nunnery at Diamond Hill
