國城小傳：紫禁城600年（英文）

　　本畫冊從館藏文物、建筑遺跡和浩如煙海的史料中，梳理和探尋故宮的前世今生。畫冊以精美的圖片，描繪出一幀幀歷史凝結而成的文化圖像，再現(xiàn)這座世界上現(xiàn)存規(guī)模大、保護完整的古代皇宮建筑群，將它的歷史、興衰重新展示給人們。 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.
