2010年，由嵩山地區(qū)8處11項(xiàng)歷史建筑組成的登封“天地之中”歷史建筑群，被第34屆聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)委員會(huì)大會(huì)收入《世界遺產(chǎn)名錄》，正式成為“世界文化遺產(chǎn)”。
本書(shū)以深入淺出的講述，配以生動(dòng)的圖片，向讀者介紹規(guī)模龐大的歷史建筑群的豐富內(nèi)容。包括周公測(cè)景臺(tái)和登封觀星臺(tái)、嵩岳寺塔、少林寺建筑群(常住院、初祖庵、塔林)、會(huì)善寺、嵩陽(yáng)書(shū)院、太室闕、少室闕、啟母闕及中岳廟8處11項(xiàng)共367座建筑。并回答了“天地之中”這一核心，指的到底是什么？有何魔力能將這彼此各異的文化遺產(chǎn)聚集于此？讀懂了“天地之中”，讀懂的也許不僅是這建筑群，不僅是嵩山，更能從中探尋中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的主線。
