Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Contemporary Chinese cities often seem mere jumbles of competing elements, but beneath that superficial disorder whispers an orderliness linking heaven, earth, and humankind. Featuring extended explorations of Chang'an and Xi'an, Beijing, Nanjing, and the recently preserved city of Pingyao, China's Walled Cities brings this cosmic order to light. The author's discussion is complemented by illustrations drawn from his extensive collection of images, as well as historic photographs, maps and drawings.
