Someone says that to understand a country, one may begins from its architecture, since architecture is a concentration of history of human life, a living memory, and a language that is easy to understand. Traditional Chinese architecture, along with European architecture and Islamic architecture, are called three architectural systems of the world. Each one, no matter a room, a tower, a hall, a temple, a bridge, or a pagoda, reflects the influence of Chinese culture, history, politics, religion, and society. This book, in the form of telling stories, introduces the cultural connotation behind different Chinese architectural forms.

描述
有人说，了解一个国家可先从了解它的建筑开始，因为建筑是人类生活史的浓缩，建筑是活着的记忆，建筑是通俗易懂的语言。中国传统建筑与欧洲建筑、伊斯兰建筑并列为世界三大建筑体系，其一屋、一楼、一殿、一庙、一桥、一塔……无不有着文化、历史、政治、宗教、社会的影响。本书以讲故事的方式，介绍中国不同建筑形态背后的文化内涵。
