I have given expression to a feeling that has always possessed me during my studies of the subject, and that is the necessity of a general understanding of the history of the country if a proper conception of its art is to be obtained.

CA Book Publishing, 2022 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover (cloth without dust jacket - as issued); 26 cm x 33 cm; 1.6 Kg; 172 pages with 134 colour plates.; The Mingzhitang Collection of Sir Joseph Hotung is one of the finest collections in the world to capture the essence of early Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. With twenty outstanding examples, it concentrates on the first hundred years of China's blue-and-white production, in the late Yuan (1271-1368) and early Ming (1368-1644) dynasties - a period that was never surpassed in artistic ingenuity and material quality. The charisma and the energy of the masterly paintings on porcelain created in the Yuan dynasty at the kilns of Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, which made this genre so influential and universally admired, are represented with twelve exceptional examples, most of them unique. They demonstrate the powerful blue-and-white style developed under Mongol rule, when the artisans appear to have been working with…

The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; In 221 BCE the first Emperor of Qin unified the lands that would become the heart of a Chinese empire. Though forged by conquest, this vast domain depended for its political survival on a fundamental reshaping of Chinese culture. With this informative book, we are present at the creation of an ancient imperial order whose major features would endure for two millennia. Mark Edward Lewis highlights the key challenges faced by the court officials and scholars who set about governing an empire of such scale and diversity of peoples. He traces the drastic measures taken to transcend, without eliminating, these regional differences: the invention of the emperor as the divine embodiment of the state; the establishment…

It is also the rarest of Ming porcelain because so few of what must once have been a stupendous collection of wares made for Emperor Chenghua are known to have survived following Chenghua's death in 1487. Despite five centuries of clandestine treasure hunting by grave robbers and secretive collectors, no palpable cache of Chengua porcelain appears to have come to light. In writing this book, the author does not claim to have found the answer to the mistery of Emperor Chenghua's lost treasure. However,…

Correct performance, they claim, demands adherence to "traditions". Yet what constitutes noh's traditions and who can claim authority over them have been in dispute throughout noh's history. This book traces how definitions of noh, both as an art and a profession, have changed over time. The author seeks to show that the definition of noh as an art is inseparable from its definition as a profession. Accordingly he analyzes the mechanisms and the agents who have determined what noh meant both as an art and as a…
