Features: The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume containing essays and the second volume featuring an atlas, accompanied by 274 rigorous, accurate, and exquisite illustrations. Through systematic research on ancient Chinese urban planning, architectural group layout, and design methods, Mr. Fu Xinyan discovered and presented to the world that "ancient Chinese architecture indeed has a set of planning and design principles, methods, and artistic composition rules." These rules have continuously developed and improved over time. It is precisely because of these principles, methods, and rules that ancient Chinese architecture has been able to maintain its uniqueness and continuity while evolving and innovating, carrying forward its legacy in an unbroken tradition. This book is suitable for faculty and students of architecture departments in higher education institutions, architects, planners, and scholars of architectural history and theory.
