林徽因 1936测绘山东滋阳兴隆寺塔
史景迁在《梁思成与林徽因——一对探索中国建筑史的伴侣》一书的前言中说:
在这个纷杂、繁忙而又充满热情的时期,梁思成夫妇,间或在费正清夫妇的陪伴下,迈出了对中国尚存最早的古建筑所进行的无数次实地探查的第一步。他们最辉煌的成功是确认、测绘并拍摄了山西五台山里一座建于公元857年的木结构寺庙——佛光寺,但这仅仅是汇集在他的杰作《图像中国建筑史》中众多惊人发现之一。

梁思成在《梁思成与林徽因——一对探索中国建筑史的伴侣》(Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past)一书中记述了那段经历,该书是与他们通信的好友费慰梅(Wilma Fairbank)用英文写的他们的人生故事。
“In complete darkness and amid the vile odor, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours,” Liang wrote.
“我们戴着厚厚的口罩掩盖口鼻,在完全的黑暗和难耐的秽气中好几个小时地测量、画图和用闪光灯照相,”梁思成写到。
“When at last we came out from under the eaves to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our knapsack. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.”
