The monograph is devoted to the early pages of the history of Chinese urban planning. It focuses not only on imperial capitals (such as the well-known Luoyang, Chang'an, and Beijing), but also on the main cities of the Pre-Qin, Chunqiu, and Zhangguo periods.
Relying on documentary sources and actual data from archaeological excavations, the author compares and analyzes in detail the features of the layout of ancient Chinese capitals, the metamorphoses that occurred to them throughout their history, as well as the causes and consequences of their decline. For specialists in history, archaeology and urban planning, students and anyone interested in Chinese history and culture.
