記得我開始學習中國建築史時,可找到的書很少。在圖書館中尋找書目,找到一本日本人編著的有關中國建築史的書。讀這本書很不是滋味,除了它內容上的欠缺以外,另一方面是這樣的書竟由外國人來編著。後來找到一本《中國建築史》,“王璧文著”幾個字赫然於眼前,我很快讀完了。書的內容我現在記不清了,但是有一点我記憶猶新:這是一本由中國人編著的中國建築史,讀了它讓人揚眉。當時我並不知道王璧文是何人,更不知道他就是璞子公。 I remember when I started studying Chinese architectural history, I found very few books. Look for bibliographies in the library and find a book compiled by the Japanese about the history of Chinese architecture. Reading this book is not taste, in addition to its lack of content on the other hand is such a book compiled by foreigners. Later found a “history of Chinese architecture”, “Wang Bi-wen,” a few words impressively in front of me, I soon finished reading. The contents of the book I can not remember now, but one thing I remember: This is a Chinese by the Chinese architectural history, read it makes people raise their brains. At that time I did not know who Wang Biwen is, but do not know that he is Uncle Poon.
