Author: Foret, Philippe;Philippe Forêt is assistant professor in the Department of Geography and International Academic Programs, University of Oklahoma.
The imperial residence of Chengde was built by two powerful and ambitious Manchu emperors between 1703 and 1780 in the mountains of Jehol. This volume, the first scholarly publication in English on the Manchu summer capital, reveals how this unlikely architectural and landscape enterprise came to help forge a dynasty's multicultural identity and concretize its claims of political legitimacy. Using both visual and textual materials, the author explores the hidden dimensions of landscape, showing how geographical imagination shaped the aesthetics of Qing court culture while proposing a new interpretation of the mental universe that conceived one of the world's most remarkable examples of imperial architecture.

評分通過建築、景觀、堪輿等文化角度,及熱河地區在移民墾殖中的變革,分析承德在清帝國圖景中的多元意義。關於文化圖景的分析冗長又“外賓“,對中國讀者來講意義不大。禦道、墾殖兩部分還可以。對於關注中國本土那種以營建、規劃、曆史文化為主題的“城市史”的研究者而言頗可一讀,其他的大概隻需翻翻就夠瞭。
