Features: Ancient Chinese architecture, with its distinctive characteristics, has formed its own system in the history of world architectural development. Chinese palace architecture, as both the administrative power center of feudal dynasties and the living quarters for emperors, empresses, and concubines, holds a particularly important position in ancient Chinese architecture. Feudal dynasties throughout history invested immense resources in constructing palace architecture, making its technical and artistic achievements a primary representation of ancient Chinese architectural and artistic accomplishments. This book comprehensively showcases the outstanding architectural achievements of one of China's only two remaining well-preserved ancient palace buildings—the Beijing Ming and Qing Imperial Palace (Forbidden City)—through insightful essays and exquisite images.
