摘要
The central theme of this issue is architectural imitation, with a special focus on wood-like mimicry（fangmugou 仿木构）, which means ＂imitating wood-structure,＂ or, more broadly, ＂imitating the mode of building with wood＂）. Research has not only provided a rich source of technical information on architectural design, form and function of historical buildings.
