2018 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Cambodia. The publication of Southeast Asian Civilizations on the Silk Road: Cambodia is thus timely, and how gratifying is its dedication to the promotion of Chinese– Cambodian friendly cooperation, especially cultural exchange! Looking through this book is like traveling through time and space, and conversing with the ancient Khmer civilization, thereby gaining an intimate understanding of the historical evolution of the Kingdom of Cambodia, and a comprehension of the development of neighborly relations between China and Cambodia in modern times. I hope that this book not only becomes essential reading for professional scholars of Cambodia, but also offers a new opportunity for the Chinese and Cambodian peoples to get to know each other better.Zhang Jinfeng, Former Chinese Ambassador to the Kingdom of Cambodia This book on the history of Cambodian civilization is perhaps the most beautiful and readable of its kind published in China I have ever encountered. It will bring lucidity to dull history for the many, and I believe will win appreciation across a broad readership. The text and images in the book were produced entirely by a Chinese scholar and a Chinese photographer—a pioneering undertaking. They have brought Cambodia to life. This book may transform Cambodia, an ancient country with a world civilization, into a dazzling pearl on the Silk Road of today.Xing Heping, Chinese journalist and well-known scholar of Cambodian affairs Southeast Asian Civilizations on the Silk Road: Cambodia is of great value to worldwide understanding of Cambodia's history, civilization, customs, religion and political culture. The book also provides an important basis for the further expansion of Cambodia's cultural development, cultural relics protection, and restoration of historic sites. I believe that it will become an important reference for scholars in the study of Cambodia.Dr. Chhun Hok, Vice President, Royal University of Phnom Penh, Cambodia Around the world, people often study each other's civilizations and cultures with the purpose of connecting with and getting to know each other. From this perspective, the publication of Southeast Asian Civilizations on the Silk Road: Cambodia is extremely important for more Chinese to understand Cambodia—an old friend to China in Southeast Asia and an ancient country—and the meaning of its cultural practices. This book will give Chinese people who come to Cambodia, either as tourists or on business, a better understanding of the country, and a greater appreciation of its culture and customs.Dr. Chour Keary, Director, Institute of National Language, Royal Academy of Cambodia
