在这本著作中，宾州大学建筑历史系教授Nancy Shatzman Steinhardt的研究对象是从十世纪中期到十二世纪前三十年间亚洲东北部的契丹国建造的佛堂，佛寺和佛塔。在他们开始与中原交流时，甚至在辽代建立以前，就建立了有城墙的城市、佛教寺院和各种平面式样的多室坟墓，然而在此之前，契丹族的领地上几乎没有砖木建筑。借鉴范围广泛的中国传统史料和东亚和欧洲学者以及近代考古学家对辽遗址的研究资料，作者认为：生活在中国文明边缘的游猎民族吸收和发展了他们占领地人民的建筑文化，来提升自身作为亚洲统治者的能力和地位，辽代建筑成为借鉴、转译、吸纳、改进、渗透和传播艺术、建筑和宗教信仰的活生生的案例。

Unbounded Loyalty investigates how frontiers worked before the modern nation-state was invented. The perspective is that of the people in the borderlands who shifted their allegiance from the post-Tang regimes in North China to the new Liao empire (907–1125). Naomi Standen offers new ways of thinking about borders, loyalty, and identity in premodern China. She takes as her star...(展开全部)
