内容简介（80字以内）Content Abstract（Within 80 Words）

This title examines a series of popular legends surrounding the building and rebuilding of the city that had served as the capital of many dynasties. These legends reveal a rich tapestry of religious and cultural traditions surrounding the majority Chinese nation’s conceptions of the origins of their capital cities─legends that are distinct from imperial ideologies and dynastic traditions, and evolved under changing political and cultural circumstances.

千年首都北京的背后拥有无数的故事。这本书分析了历代都城的城市建设和重建的流行传说，揭示围绕着大多数中华民族对都城起源的宗教和文化传统的概念，以及它们如何在历史洪流中演变。
