Book Description
Landscape has been the dominant subject in Chinese painting ever since it emerged as the pre-eminent art form of the Northern Sung period (960-1127). The recent acquisition by the Metropolitan Museum, as a gift of the Dillon Fund, of a superb large Northern Sung handscroll, Summer Mountains, provides the opportunity to consider in some detail the landscape art of this period, together with its antecedents and later permutations. Developing during the war-filled years of the tenth century, Northern Sung landscape painting produced timeless images that were followed and imitated for centuries. This art reached its apogee in the third quarter of the eleventh century. After the fall of the Northern Sung, it continued to be popular in the north, both under the Chin tartar and then the Mongol rule during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Meantime the painters of the Southern Sung (1127-1276), south of the Yangtze River, developed a simplified style that described the softer landscapes of the south.

Book Description
In the thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel Minecraft: The Island, a stranded hero stumbles upon another castaway—and discovers that teamwork might just be the secret to survival. Wandering a vast, icy tundra, the explorer has never felt more alone. Is there anything out here? Did I do the right thing by leaving the safety of my island? Should I give up and go back? So many questions, and no time to ponder—not when dark is falling and dangerous mobs are on the horizon. Gurgling zombies and snarling wolves lurk in the night, and they’re closing in. With nowhere to hide, the lone traveler flees up a mountain, trapped and out of options . . . until a mysterious figure arrives, fighting off the horde singlehandedly. The unexpected savior is Summer, a fellow castaway and master of survival in these frozen wastes. Excited to find another person in this strange, blocky world, the explorer teams up with Summer, whose impressive mountain fortress as a safe haven . . . for now. But teamwork is a new skill for two people used to working alone. If they want to make it home, they will have to learn to work together—or risk losing everything.

Book Description
Handscroll; Ink and color on silk; 284cm(width)*22cm(height) Through application of coarse brushstrokes and accent dots, Dong Yuan represented the landscapes of the Jiangnan area, vividly recreating the region's beautiful scenery in his works. The brushstrokes and ink dots not only give a sense of the ridges and peaks in different lighting, but also reveal hidden islets in the middle of rivers and depict lingering mists at the foot of forest-clad mountains. With just a few brushstrokes, Dong created an unusual effect in that the painting made no sense when viewed closely, yet was vivid and appealing when viewed from a distance. This was an extremely creative technique. Dong Yuan's paintings successfully convey the interplay between Jiangnan's rounded hills and waters. Through the use of ink dots, brush strokes, color, and space, Dong recreated luxuriant tress and grass, floating clouds and dreamy mists, rolling hills, and other features typical of Jiangnan, such as islets, streams, and bridges.
