Compared with previous general history-style clothing books that describe the clothing of the Song Dynasty in detail, Mr. Fu Boxing's "History of Costumes of the Song Dynasty", as Mr. Zheng Chao, consultant of the Zhejiang Provincial Literary Critics Association, commented in the preface to this book, can be described as "a chronological history of clothing narrated by a painter." After reading a large number of records of the Song Dynasty, the author of this book collected image data for more than thirty years, starting from art, using the skill of a painter to enter history with paintings, and telling history with pictures. He used a large number of detailed and image art data to conduct a unique graphic research on the history of clothing in the history of Song Dynasty.

"The Tower of the Song Dynasty" uses paintings to tell history, systematically sorting out the architectural appearance characteristics of the Song Dynasty reflected in the boundary paintings of the two Song Dynasties, analyzing its works, describing its influence, discussing its evolution, detailing its implication, vivid images, and using it to draw an interesting, vivid and vivid three-dimensional picture of life in the Song Dynasty. The book contains a total of more than 140 Song Dynasty paintings and more than 600 exquisite illustrations, which are arranged in an orderly manner and are pleasant to read. These famous works not only increase the artistic appreciation of the book, but also greatly increase the credibility of the image data. The book explores the appearance styles and evolution trajectories of buildings in the Song Dynasty from the perspective of the architecture in Song paintings. The emphasis is not on the architectural technology at that time, which can add a new perspective to architectural historians.
