China's ancient pagodas are one of the carriers of China's five thousand-year civilization history. Ancient pagodas add luster to the cities, mountains and forests of the motherland. The ancient pagodas standing in the north and south of the Yangtze River are known as the outstanding high-rise buildings in ancient China. Mr. Luo Zhewen introduced the origin, spread, shape, regional distribution and other issues of ancient Chinese pagodas in the form of a combination of pictures and texts. All the pictures in this book were taken by Mr. Luo Zhewen himself during his inspection, and the textual research on the construction age of the ancient pagoda in the book is particularly valuable.

In 1985, Luo Zhewen participated in the application for the Convention for the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage, making the Great Wall one of the protected world cultural heritages. "History of the Great Wall" systematically introduces the Great Wall during the Qin Shihuang period, the Great Wall after the Qin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty according to different historical periods. It explains the use and structure of the Great Wall, how it was built, and finally lists several important Great Wall ruins. It provides readers with a good reference for a comprehensive understanding of the Great Wall.
