This dissertation demonstrates the sophisticated and unique city construction of the Liao Khitan imperial families by means of a careful examination of the city of Qingzhou, one of the Liao seasonal imperial cities. The Khitan rulers, originally nomadic pastoralists from the eastern Eurasian steppes, established the Liao Dynasty (907-1125) and persisted in spending most of their time participating in the year-round seasonal travel, called nabo, through their pre-dynastic homeland, the Xilamulun grassland. Qingzhou was one of several cities along the nabo route regularly visited by the imperial camp. The idea of nomads establishing permanent settlements on the grassland raises the question of how the imperial Khitans would allow themselves to found and engage with the urban space. Through investigating the shifting forms of Qingzhou over the period, this dissertation elucidates the ways in which the imperial families' distinctive spatial conceptions and political aspirations were translated into the Liao permanent structures. This study in turn sheds light on the imperial Khitans' endeavors and rivalries with one another in building cities that contributed to the transformation of their homeland into the imperial heartland of the Liao.Chapter One builds a foundation for the case study of Qingzhou through examining the general spatial syntaxes and vocabularies of the Liao imperial cities on the Xilamulun grassland. The ensuing three chapters chronologically trace the transformation of the spatial configuration and significance of Qingzhou. Chapter Two demonstrates that Qingzhou originally was built as a memorial construction dedicated to the death of the Emperor Shengzong in 1031, which eternalized the imperial mobile structure on the grassland-the ordo. Chapter Three reveals how the soaring Qingzhou White Pagoda initiated by the Empress Dowager Qin'ai in 1047 altered the configuration of the city both horizontally and vertically, transforming the city into an essential base of her power. Chapter Four argues that the mausoleums of Shengzong's son Xingzong (1055) and his grandson Daozong (1101) constructed on the sides of Shengzong's tomb infused the site with layers of past nabo trips turning the greater Qingzhou area into an enduring terminal along the nabo route, where nabo was commemorated and monumentalized.
