Features: Taxila, a historically renowned Buddhist center, where its stone carvings are world-famous. The Gandhara Buddhist art flourished there, where Eastern and Western cultures once converged. Xuanzang left behind his lecture platform there, Faxian left his footprints there, and Alexander the Great once stayed there. Let us step into Taxila and experience its unique charm and captivating radiance that has fascinated the world. This book is a work about the historically famous Buddhist center, the city of Taxila. Professor Dan and his research team have collected a wealth of materials, including many new archaeological findings, and conducted field investigations of the relevant sites again. They place Taxila within the broad context of Asian history and East-West exchanges, comprehensively describing its rise, prosperity, and decline from multiple perspectives such as geography, history, religion, culture, and economy, and introducing the related human and historical landscapes.
