China's Cultural Relics (English Edition): Painted Pottery, Jade, Bronze, Porcelain & 7,000 Years of Chinese Civilization

12 Types of Relics — from Yangshao Painted Pottery and Shang-Zhou Bronze to Tang Porcelain, Song Painting and Ming Furniture — A Visual Introduction to China's Past
This book opens Chinese civilization through twelve kinds of objects that have survived the centuries—painted pottery from the Yangshao culture, jade from the Hongshan and Liangzhu, bronze ritual vessels from the Shang and Zhou, porcelain from the Tang and Song, Buddhist sculpture, literati painting, Ming furniture, and more. Each chapter shows you what these objects were used for, how they were made, and what they reveal about the people who made them. The pictures carry much of the story, so you can follow the thread without a background in archaeology. If you want to see Chinese history through the things people left behind—rather than read an antique price guide or a dense academic study of archaeology—this is it.
