This book was released on 2017-06-25 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archaeological and Historical Researches The Manoboc dynasty, which has reigned in China since 1644, did not change the names of the capital. I must however remark, that the name Peking, so familiar to every European, is hardly known by the Chinese of our days. The learned Chinese understand of course what is meant by this name, but Peking is always called y}: w King-ch'eng or 753 fi King-ta, both meaning capital, by the Chinese. This is a summary of the history of Peking, which has seen so many political changes, and altered its name under almost every dynasty. We shall see, that the place, where the capital stood, has also changed several times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Yuan written by Nancy Steinhardt and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monumental illustrated survey of the architecture of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century China The Yuan dynasty endured for a century, leaving behind an architectural legacy without equal, from palaces, temples, and pagodas to pavilions, tombs, and stages. With a history enlivened by the likes of Khubilai Khan and Marco Polo, this spectacular empire spanned the breadth of China and far, far beyond, but its rulers were Mongols. Yuan presents the first comprehensive study in English of the architecture of China under Mongol rule. In this richly illustrated book, Nancy Shatzman Steinhardt looks at cities such as the legendary Shangdu—inspiration for Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Xanadu—as well as the architecture the Mongols encountered on their routes of conquest. She examines the buildings and monuments of diverse faiths in China during the period, from Buddhist and Daoist to Confucian, Islamic, and Christian, as well as unusual structures such as observatories, archways, stone and metal buildings, and sarcophaguses. Steinhardt dispels long-standing views of the Mongols as destroyers of cities and architecture across Asia, showing how the khans and their families built more than they tore down. She demonstrates that the stipulations of the Chinese building system were powerful and resilient enough to guide the architecture that rose under Mongolian rule. Drawing on Steinhardt’s groundbreaking textual research in numerous languages as well as her pioneering fieldwork at sites across East Asia, Yuan will become the standard reference on this critical period of cultural and artistic exchange.
