This thesis explores how the Inner Asian traditionary material cultures provided ''vocabulary'' for the architectural expressions in late imperial China, represented by those in the Manchu-Qing Dynasty. It scrutinizes how the Manchu-Qing imperial households and architects imported and adapted Inner Asian architectural patterns extensively on one hand, while absorbing the Han-Chinese ones on the other hand, which equipped their buildings as weapons for imperial affairs, including military accomplishments, national unification, and construction of ethnicity, whereby specific meanings had been represented. Methodologically, this thesis is expected to contribute to both the expansions of its cross-dynastic and transregional material horizon and its historical interpretations on the processes of architectural adaptation.

520 $a This thesis explores how the Inner Asian traditionary material cultures provided ''vocabulary'' for the architectural expressions in late imperial China, represented by those in the Manchu-Qing Dynasty. It scrutinizes how the Manchu-Qing imperial households and architects imported and adapted Inner Asian architectural patterns extensively on one hand, while absorbing the Han-Chinese ones on the other hand, which equipped their buildings as weapons for imperial affairs, including military accomplishments, national unification, and construction of ethnicity, whereby specific meanings had been represented. Methodologically, this thesis is expected to contribute to both the expansions of its cross-dynastic and transregional material horizon and its historical interpretations on the processes of architectural adaptation.
520 $a To start with, the Prologue gives a commentary on the scope-changing usage of the historical and geographical term ''Inner Asia'' in scholarship. The term, in this research, refers to the Asian hinterland roughly embracing Manchuria, Mongolia, Siberia, Central Asia, Tibet and North India. It subsequently reviews the discussions on ''Inner-Asia-ness'' in contemporary studies of late imperial Chinese history and architectural history.
520 $a The main body is composed of two parts. The evidence-based Part I traces the origins and developments of the involved Inner Asian architectural patterns per se, including three chapters divided by the natures of buildings: Cosmological Diagrams, Religious Venues, and Residential Forms, demonstrating the Inner Asian inheritances the Manchus received on their rise; whereas the Part II focuses on the practices and creations in different historical phases of the Manchurian rule within a time frame defined by the construction of the stronghold of the Yehe Tribe in 1573 and the ending of the high point of construction in Qianlong's reign in 1780, organized into three chapters according to the three ideological elements in which the adaptive architecture played their roles: Unification, Ethnicity, and Martialism. Through examining how patterns were imported, reinvented and endowed with new meanings, the thesis reveals the complexity of the Inner Asian architectural influences over the formation of Manchu-Qing architecture, which unfolds a unique feature of late imperial Chinese architecture that has not been well perceived by the current scholarship of architectural history.
520 $a The Epilogue expounds the academic significance of late imperial Chinese architecture. It evaluates the technical and aesthetic judgement in the traditional discourse of Chinese architectural history, and also the sui generis academic framework of ''Chinese Architecture.'' This essay reviews the discussions of northern and southern trajectories of the nature of Chinese history since the tenth century, which sketches a background to the separation of design bases of Chinese architecture in Chinese and Inner Asian perspectives. With the reference of intercultural materials, late imperial Chinese architecture possesses a profound significance that surpasses the traditional concerns on the architecture of this era. In the context of intercultural turn in modern historiography, ''Qing architecture'' or ''Chinese architecture'' should not be regarded as self-contained systems, but physical representations produced by influences of alternation of regimes, migration of ethnic groups, spread of religions, and craftsmanship exchanges, during which the imported architectural patterns and indigenous institutions kept their contestation and integration.
