Overview
The Yuanmingyuan (Old Summer Palace) represents the pinnacle of ancient Chinese architectural and landscape garden art, and stands as a brilliant synthesis of these traditions. It was hailed by Europeans as the "Garden of All Gardens" and the "epitome of the art of garden design." Since being set ablaze by the Anglo-French allied forces in 1860, it has endured a century of vicissitudes and has largely remained a ruin. The author has conducted in-depth research and investigation into the history and current state of the Yuanmingyuan. Responding to contemporary needs, the author presents the findings through lectures, forums, television programs, articles, and interviews, while also critically examining various arguments opposing its restoration from multiple perspectives. This book is characterized by clear viewpoints, substantial historical evidence, and compelling reasoning. It is an excellent work that integrates history with current realities and theory with practice. 圆明园是中国古代建筑艺术和园林艺术发展的高峰,也是中国古代建筑艺术和园林艺术的光辉总结,被欧洲人誉为"万园之园"和"一切造园艺术的典范"。自1860年被英法联军纵火焚烧后,历尽沧桑,成为一片废墟。 作者对圆明园的历史和现状进行了深入的调查研究,根据现实的需要,将自己的研究成果通过讲座、论坛、电视、文章、答记者问等形式予以讲述,并从不同的角度对反对整修的种种言论进行剖析。本书观点鲜明,史料翔实,论证充分,令人信服,是一部历史与现实、理论与实践相结合的好书。 Wang Daocheng is a renowned expert in Qing dynasty history.
