In terms of the history of ancient Chinese architecture, it includes four papers: "Overview of the Development of Ancient Chinese Architecture", "Research on the Layout and Architectural Design Methods of Ancient Chinese Urban Planning Building Groups", "Preliminary Analysis of the Architecture Painted in the Jin Dynasty Murals in the South Hall of Yanshan Temple in Fanzhi County, Shanxi Province", and "Beijing City, the Capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties". In addition to studying specific ancient architectural objects, ancient ruins and their development overview In addition, the focus is on the planning and layout of Chinese cities and large building complexes such as palaces and temples, as well as the design rules of individual buildings. It is revealed that ancient Chinese cities use palaces and lanes as modules, large building complexes use main courtyards as modules, and individual buildings use materials and column heights as modules. A series of planning and design methods have formed the unique style of ancient Chinese architecture. In terms of appraisal of ancient calligraphy and painting, it includes papers such as "A Brief Discussion on the Experience of Appraisal of Calligraphy and Painting" and "Authenticity and Right and Wrong Issues in the Appraisal of Ancient Calligraphy and Painting". Based on his rich experience and a large number of examples, the author proposes that the appraisal of calligraphy and painting requires not only a solid foundation in the history of calligraphy and painting, but also a certain ability to document research, so as to further achieve "the purposeful use of comparative analysis methods to establish the microscopic standard series and macroscopic comprehensive concepts required for the appraisal of calligraphy and painting." Finally, under the title "The Perfect Combination of Academic Research and Art Appreciation", the author talks about his experience in studying Mr. Qi Gong's art history and calligraphy and painting appraisal works. In terms of ancient book editions, it includes two articles: "A Brief Note on my country's Rare Books Seen during a Visit to the United States" and "Notes on a Visit to the Jingjiatang Library", which record the unique and rare books that the author came across in major public and private libraries during his visits to the United States and Japan in the 1980s and 1990s.
