中国古代建筑在世界建筑发展史中以其鲜明的特点自成体系。而中国的宫殿建筑既是封建王朝的行政权力中心，又是帝后嫔妃的生活居住之所，因而在中国古代建筑中具有特殊重要的地位。历代封建王朝几乎都以倾国之力修筑宫殿建筑，以至宫殿建筑的技术和艺术成就，几乎可以成为中国古代建筑技术和艺术成就的主要代表。《中国建筑艺术全集：宫殿建筑2（北京）》以精辟之论文和精美的图片详尽展示了我国仅存的两座保存完好的古代宫殿建筑之一-北京明清故宫（紫禁城）的杰出的建筑艺术成就。
Chinese ancient architecture has formed its own system with its distinctive characteristics in the history of world architecture development. China’s palace architecture is not only the administrative power center of the feudal dynasty, but also the living place of the imperial concubines, so it has a special important position in ancient Chinese architecture. Almost all the feudal dynasties built palace buildings with great efforts, and the technical and artistic achievements of palace buildings can almost become the main representative of the technical and artistic achievements of ancient Chinese architecture. The Complete Collection of Chinese Architectural Art: Palace Architecture 2 (Beijing) shows in detail the outstanding architectural art achievements of the Ming and Qing Palace Museum (Forbidden City) in Beijing, one of the only two well-preserved ancient palace buildings in China, with incisive papers and exquisite pictures.
