Features: Liang Sicheng once said, "In every majestic ancient city wall or a crumbling foundation stone, there are intangible whispers and songs of the unrelenting passage of time." As an architect, Liang Sicheng was undoubtedly also a poet. It was his appreciation for the beauty of ancient architecture and his dedicated efforts to preserve traditional heritage that made him a distinguished master of architecture. The book "Twenty Lectures on Chinese Architectural Art" carefully selects Liang Sicheng's lectures on Chinese ancient architecture and case studies of Chinese architectural heritage, supplemented by over 300 stunning illustrations of ancient buildings, vividly interpreting all aspects of Chinese architectural art.
