国城小传：紫禁城600年（英文）

　　本画册从馆藏文物、建筑遗迹和浩如烟海的史料中，梳理和探寻故宫的前世今生。画册以精美的图片，描绘出一帧帧历史凝结而成的文化图像，再现这座世界上现存规模大、保护完整的古代皇宫建筑群，将它的历史、兴衰重新展示给人们。 The many people who once inhabited the Forbidden City are all gone forever， but the buildings continue telling stories today. Celebration of the Forbidden City’s 600th birthday presents an opportune time to upgrade methods of inheritance of ancient civilization to stay abreast with modern times even as the core remains the same. Renowned architectural researcher Liang Sicheng once said， “The culture of every nation fostered unique architectural styles throughout history， but unfortunately not every nation understood the value of spreading culture through architecture.” This book will take you back 600 years for a glimpse at the endless charm of the Forbidden City.
