　　Bridges, the least known and understood of China's many

wonders, are one of its most striking and resilient feats of

architectural prowess. Chinese Bridges brings together a thorough

look at these marvels from one of the world's leading experts on

Chinese culture and historical geography, Ronald G. Knapp.

While many consider bridges to be merely utilitarian, the bridges

of China move beyond that stereotype, as many are undeniably

dramatic, even majestic and daring. Chinese Bridges illustrates in

detail 20 well-preserved ancient bridges, along with de*ions

and essays on the distinctive architectural elements shared by the

various designs. For the first time in an English-language book,

Chinese Bridges records scores of newly discovered bridges across

China's vast landscape, illustrated with over 400 color

photographs, as well as woodblock prints, historic images,

paintings and line drawings.
