Every Treasure Tells a Story: Season 3 (English Edition) – 25 Chinese Artifacts from the Wei-Jin to the Tang

From the Nymph of the Luo River and the Lanting Preface to the Flying Apsaras of Dunhuang, the Six Steeds of Zhaoling and Tang Sancai — 25 Treasures Told in Vivid Detail
This book brings together the stories of 25 Chinese treasures from the third season of the CCTV documentary—this time from the Wei-Jin period through the Tang dynasty. You meet the Nymph of the Luo River, Wang Xizhi’s Lanting Preface, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove in brick relief, the Buddhist sculptures of Qingzhou, the flying apsaras of Dunhuang, the Six Steeds of Zhaoling, and a Tang sancai camel carrying musicians. Along the way, you learn how they were made, what they meant to the people who made them, and how they connect to the larger story of Chinese culture. The book also adds background on craft, history, and cross-cultural comparison that goes beyond the documentary. If you want to encounter these objects through their stories rather than through an academic catalogue or a dry museum guide—this is it.
