This book presents a systematic, authoritative, and in-depth exploration of the archaeological restoration and historical evolution of Chinese palace architecture, drawing on methodologies from archaeology, history, and architecture. It fills the gap left by the scarcity of architectural remains and research predating the Tang dynasty, reinforces the foundations of Chinese architectural archaeology, and introduces innovative theoretical perspectives.

Adopting a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, the study synthesizes historical analysis with diverse technical approaches. It is further enriched by extensive charts and visual materials, which substantiate and contextualize the textual arguments, enhancing both scholarly rigor and readability. Notably, the work establishes the epistemological and methodological framework for ancient Chinese palace archaeology, delivering a systematic archaeological analysis of palace structures from the Stone Age through the late Qing dynasty.
