NDB, II, p. 407. – The architect and sinologist Ernst Boerschmann (1873–1949) is regarded as one of the leading early authorities on Chinese architecture in the German-speaking world. With his series on Chinese architecture, he produced a body of work that remains an important record of traditional Chinese building styles to this day, based on his own travels, surveys and photographs.
