内容简介

　　《北京紫禁城（英文版）》主要分三部分，上篇为图说规划，中篇为图说营造，下篇为图说内廷。在规划部分中，从营国旧事始，明朝朱棣定都北京，再到清朝康熙、乾隆等对于紫禁城的变动，紫禁城始终与国家象征密不可分。

　　在中篇部分，作者谈及古建筑的数据分析方法，并用该方法对于太和殿、英华殿、体仁阁、弘义阁等建筑进行了分析，从而阐释了各建筑在营造上的不同手法以及局部特点。随着作者分析数据的思维路径，并逐渐揣摩出古代工匠的设计思想和方法，没有丝毫的枯燥之感，反而有种解谜般的阅读乐趣。

　　下篇为图说内廷，主要讲述的是紫禁城内的诸多使用者，以及他们对于室内装饰设计的不同审美情趣，还穿插了关于帝后生活起居的趣事，细节感十足，有着不逊于文学作品的故事性。

本书特色

There are causes and effects behind the trends of all ages， which seem to contain unavoidable factors. Fortunately， in our times， an awareness of national culture has grown in China as well. And it is in the modern spirit of pursuing scholarly studies to collect material objects and do research about the past Efforts should be made today to seek new development in the bloodstream of tradition.
As Chinese buildings represent a kind of engineering technology that lasted for over two thousand years， they form an independent art system. The Chinese culture finds its expression in many buildings， which constitute a large portion of the Chinese art legacy. We must respect the brilliant ancient Chinese culture， we cannot afford to neglect researching the history of these Chinese buildings if we are determined to rejuvenate our nation and carefully sort out and protect the cultural relics of our past generations.
If we attempt to awaken society by providing objective academic research， we can contribute to protecting cultural relics and can gradually reduce the damage to them. Even if such a work is a force against the trend of times， there must be no delay， as it is similar to rescuing valuable articles and precious paintings from a raging fire. It is a sacred duty to cherish and protect these valuable Chinese cultural relics.
——Liang Sicheng
