Features: Architecture, as a carrier of culture, surpasses artifacts, precedes records, and outlasts stone and metal. Starting with architecture to study human culture is only natural. Currently, both in China and abroad, the term "architectural culture" still seems unfamiliar. However, it doesn't matter if China pioneers this concept. Chinese architectural culture is so closely integrated, so enduring, and so pervasive that people are completely unaware of its existence. As the saying goes, "Those who act without awareness of the principle will follow it their entire lives yet never understand its way." (Mencius, The Doctrine of the Mean) This book presents both architecture and traditional culture as Seven Sayings of the Artisan.
