Features: This book is the result of Liang Sicheng's research in the early 1930s, which was published by the Society for the Study of Chinese Architecture in 1934. At that time, Liang Sicheng used the Qing Dynasty's "Work Department Engineering Methods" as a textbook, learned from master craftsmen who had participated in the construction of the Qing Imperial Palace, took the Beijing Forbidden City as a model, and collected secret manuals passed down through generations of craftsmen. He conducted a thorough investigation and study of the construction methods and rules of Qing Dynasty architecture, elaborating on them vividly in writing. Additionally, he clearly expressed the construction details of each part using architectural projection drawings and actual photographs.
