《长城》用英、汉、法、德、日、俄、意、西、韩九个国家的语言描述了中国的世界遗产——长城。

In ancient times, people could not explain a great number of natural occurrences and their causes, always feeling they were too mysterious to understand, that people imagined that between the heaven and the earth there were supernatural beings, who created everything and dominated the heaven and earth. Every time they were confronted by natural disasters such as earthquakes, strong winds, heavy storms, inundating floods, ravaging beasts and fires, people would think that these deities were angry, and thus would grow very frightened. Then at times of propitious winds and rains, as well as abundant harvests of all food crops, people would think the gods were blessing them. In a word, out of awe, gratitude and admiration, people would offer a variety of sacrifices to these deities, praying for their protection and blessing. The worship of deities became rituals to demonstrate people's respect and gratitude to various deities and to pray for their protection.

This,however, enabled the Summer Palace to take advantage of the best in the art of landscape architecture accumulated in a thousand years by the Chinese people and to become an unexcelled landmark in the history of the Chinese art of landscape architecture.

The author has devoted much effort in preparing the book and explains the intricacies in the history of the Summer Palace in simple terms. Together with you, he inquires into the historical origin of the buildings, structures, gardens, hills and lakes in the Summer Palace and provides you with accurate information to answer questions you may want to ask during your visit.

北京是闻名于世的历史文化名城，有着3000多年的历史，在这漫长的历史过程中，北京从一个原始聚落发育成为方国，诸侯领地的中心，进而成为封建国家北京地区的重镇，并上升为全国首都的显赫地位，进入世界著名大都市的行列，其间线索连贯、内涵丰富。至今，我们仍可以看到700年前元大都城市规划的街道布局，这在世界上是很少见的。《北京风景》特为奥运而编。9种文字对照版，向来京国游客介绍北京，文字通俗，图书精美。

中国是世界上早发明养蚕、缫丝、织绸的国家。而用彩色丝线在丝织物上绣成图案的刺绣工艺．大约在公元前15世纪的商代就已出现。早的刺绣工艺主要用于服饰，大约在公元10世纪的宋代，刺绣工艺逐渐向具有观赏性的艺术品方向发展，到明、清(1368—1911年)刺绣艺术成就显著，刺绣工艺形成了不同的艺术流派．苏绣、粤绣、蜀绣、湘绣四大名绣争奇斗艳。苏州地处太湖之滨，盛产蚕桑．中国经济文化重心从五代（907—960年）朝江南转移，“上有天堂，下有苏杭”的说法亦就是五代时期开始流传的。江南文化经济的繁荣促使苏绣技艺有了长足的进步，苏绣艺术独领风骚，影响深远。 今天的苏绣艺术又开创了一个大有作为的新天地。苏绣艺人对传统技艺进行挖掘，加以总结．提高，发展，使苏绣艺术既有优秀传统的文化内涵，又有新时期的时代风貌．苏绣艺

In such an era of cultural assimilation, when bulldozers nudge their way toward the increasingly fewer Beijing hutong and siheyuan, and Shanghai linong, it is not only the old city districts that are declining; the unique Chinese architecture, culture and lifestyle are vanishing with them. Fortunately, the vast territory of China is still dotted with old townscapes dating back thousands of years, carrying on the continuous history and civilization of China. Zhouzhuang, Fenghuang,Hongcun, Tongli, Pingyao, Luodai, Lijiang, Dali ...these old towns enjoy their own tranquility, far from the din of the cities, and exude their own distinctive flavor and delicacy without the pompous magnificence of imperial palaces. Their names are beautiful symbols of China because of their small picturesque bridges, flowing waters and local houses that have long been portrayed in Chinese ink and wash paintings, numerous exquisite brick,stone and wood carvings, arches erected to commemorate chaste widows, a welter of ethnic customs

万里长城上有著名关隘数十座，关关雄奇壮观，景色迥异。在河北省秦皇岛市东北，长城由山脉从北向南飞身而下，直捣渤海，形成“天下关”山海关，入海入即是著名的长城东端点----“老龙头”。此关山海相连，关城居中，呈四方形，挟两侧的墩堡、关隘沉稳拱立，有“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的气势。俯卧于北京西北50多公里处的燕山峡谷之中的，是京郊著名风景胜地居庸关。此关于明代修建，由两山夹峙其间。关城内遗有雕刻精美的云台。关沟中清溪萦绕，四击层峦叠嶂，以“居庸叠翠”跻身燕京八景。明长城的西端嘉峪关，位于甘肃西部，是现存的长城关城中完整的一处。

Makye Ame does not attempt to summarize Tibelan culture.Instead,it gives expression to it from deep in our heats ,thereby conveying the Tibetan people's joys and sorrows as well as our desires and aspirations. I often wonder if we could find ways to let more people get a real picture of Tibtan culture in their daily lives rather than just in academic works with,and thus familiar-ize themselves with some of its more intrinsic features and join us in carrying it forward.

笔者生在北京，长在北京，半个多世纪过去了，大约算得上是个地道的“老北京”。北京城里使人难以忘怀的是什么呢？就是那大大小小的、在南方被叫做街巷的胡同。每当我从外地特别是从外国出差归来的时候，急于想见到的使是那一条条古朴的、幽雅的、熟悉的、亲切的胡同。或者说，只有见到了这些胡同才能算是回到了北京，回到了家。胡同与家分不开，北京与胡同分不开。一定意义上说，胡同就是北京的魂。

The Taihu Lake Basin adjacent to Shanghai has a diversified water system and clamp climate and is rich in produce.
