"Since the 1990s, the urban landscape of China has witnessed revolutionary changes that are unrivalled in any country of the world throughout history. Rapid urbanization, facilitated by the modern planning mechanism for growth, provides a feast for property developers. Yet, associated urban problems such as housing affordability, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and environmental deterioration are aggravated. This book takes a historic approach to investigate the planning philosophy, urban form and life of the past. Through a detailed study of urban development from early times through the imperial period with a focus on the Tang-Song dynasties, this book attempts to articulate the good qualities of urban landscapes from the past that still have instructive value for modern practices. The focus on the Tang-Song period is not only because China was the most advanced civilization of its time, but also because it underwent a similar process of "urbanization", evident by tremendous economic growth, a dramatic rise of urban population, and an extended building boom. Through evaluating the streets, city layout, public places, urban communities, houses and gardens, and using interdisciplinary research in urban planning, urban design, architecture, history, and cultural studies, this book asserts that the past is quintessentially important. The past not only truthfully records the course of social and cultural formation of urban community and its associated physical fabric, but also regulates the directions we may take in the future"--

Le haut Moyen Âge de la Chine, qui s'étend du IIIe au VIe siècle de notre ère, fut une période particulièrement troublée sur le plan politique. Elle vit en effet s'établir sur le sol chinois une vingtaine d'États plus ou moins éphémères, dont certains furent fondés par des populations étrangères venues des steppes nordiques. Ces quelques siècles n'en furent pas moins extrêmement riches et bouillonnants du point de vue culturel. Ils virent en particulier le bouddhisme s'acclimater au sol chinois et le taoïsme se constituer en véritable religion organisée. La littérature connut d'importants développements, notamment dans le domaine de la poésie et de la prosodie. L'art bouddhique connut un âge d'or et donna lieu à de splendides réalisations sous la dynastie des Wei du Nord. La culture de cour qui se constitua dans les États chinois du Sud exerça quant à elle une influence profonde sur les arts, qui devait se maintenir pendant des siècles, notamment sous les Tang. Pourtant, cette période si importante est peu connue en dehors des milieux sinologiques, mis à part les célèbres Trois royaumes. Le présent dictionnaire comble ainsi un vide dans le monde éditorial. Joignant le plaisir de la lecture au sérieux de la documentation, il est indispensable à tous ceux qui, du simple curieux, sinisant ou non, au chercheur déjà confirmé, se proposent d'acquérir des connaissances ou d'approfondir celles qu'ils ont déjà sur une période foisonnante qui n'est pas sans rappeler, à de multiples points de vue, le bas empire romain et l'Europe des États barbares.
