Book Description
This book is the first in a major three-volume series that will survey China's immense wealth of art, architecture, and artifacts from prehistoric times to the twentieth century. The Arts of China to A.D. 900 investigates the beginnings of the traditions on which much of the art rests, moving from Neolithic and Bronze Age China to the era of the Tang Dynasty around A.D. 900. William Watson discusses in lively detail a wide range of art forms and techniques: porcelain and pottery, lacquer, religious and secular painting and sculpture, mural painting, monumental sculpture and architecture. He explains the materials and techniques of bronze casting, jade carving, pottery manufacture, and other arts, and he describes the most important sites, the artifacts that were produced at each one, and the historical interactions between different areas. He discusses the iconography, the technique and the function of every art form. Written by one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of Chinese art and archaeology, this lavishly illustrated book will be a valuable resource for both experts and beginners in the field.

Book Description
"This survey covers a group of 28 inscribed bronze ritual vessels and bells. It has been designed to demonstrate aspects of the current tendency in chin-shih-hsueh ("metal-stone-studies") towards interdisciplinary approaches. Emphases have been placed upon technical and palaeographic issues." "Barnard has long sought to explore the potential of up-to-date methods of research when applied in these fields. He has demonstrated here, in greater detail than was attempted in his earlier publications, the urgent need for an appreciably stricter disciplinary approach to the archaeological data." "In the course of travel and research in Europe, Mainland China, Taiwan, and the USA over a period of a decade or so, the occasional discovery of one or more new vessels to be added to the ever-growing Liang Ch'i series has meant a continual revision of the survey. And from time to time, valuable data deriving from radiography and general laboratory examination, along with direct access to nearly all of the 28 bronzes, has led towards a better appreciation of the various casting features which hitherto have been but poorly understood. Thus amongst other details relating to the ancient casting procedures, improvements in the reconstructions of the mould-assemblies in which the Liang Ch'i vessels - kuei, ting, li-ting, hsu, and chung - were cast have resulted."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
