Features: Contemplating Peking through trees, stones, and waters, this book presents a form of admiration for the city's heritage based on a special relationship between humans and nature. In the exploration of ancient ruins in Peking, the indicators of the past have solidified into a wellspring, a grove of twisted pines, and sometimes an inscribed stone or an abandoned cave. The history of the waters has settled upon them like a patina. These elements of nature that preserve the memory of Peking have helped to answer the places that are sought and to define them. However, they were the only ones to preserve the atmosphere of these places, much of which has long since faded, much of which has long since ceased to preserve the atmosphere of these places, much of which has long since ceased to perform the rituals. Additionally, they improved the spirits of the Chinese, always ready to share with friends their knowledge and stories.
