In 2005, Mao Ge began her research on traditional houses as a student of architecture. After studying these different styles of buildings, she came to recognize their distinct regional character, believing that every building is a result of the craftsmen’s dedication and commitment. Also, she discovered the great passion in life among the Chinese people.
Throughout the long history of the vast China, there have emerged diverse and unique styles of traditional houses.
But with rapid march towards urbanization since the 1980s, these building have disappeared in great numbers. At the same time, age-old construction techniques, tools and expertise have faded into oblivion.
As someone born in the 1980s, Mao Ge grew up reading comic books like her peers. Thus the girl decided to present traditional houses in the form of comics, to help more people see their beauty and join the protection campaign and to spark interest in this discipline among younger generations. So far, she has produced some youth-targeted comic books characterized by simple yet funny drawings and plain language.
