The Yingxian Pagoda's Millennium of Perils

Written for general and younger readers, the book follows the pagoda's survival across a millennium and connects its construction, disasters, investigation, conservation and present-day cultural transmission. Narrative history explains why the monument endured and how conservators make decisions.

A useful introduction before specialist literature. Its narrative helps establish a chronology, but dates, structural data and repair proposals should still be checked against measured surveys, conservation monographs and official sources.
