Murals have been found in different countries and nations since the beginning of human civilization, a period of nearly ten thousand years. Many beautiful murals dating from the ancient times in Egypt, Rome, Russia, and Babylon are still well preserved today. Their unique artistic charm still influences us. China is also known for her ancient murals, of which the famous Dunhuang Murals of the Tang Dynasty are most representative. They reflect the elements of politics, economy, culture, and religion of the glorious period of the Tang Dynasty. This album of murals of the Tang Dynasty is a collection of photographs of more than 200 representative murals of the Tang Dynasty preserved by our curator Yang’s family. They show flying Apsaras, heavenly music goddess, Buddha images, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Buddha’s warrior attendant, Buddhist sponsor worshipers of the court and nobility of the Tang Dynasty, Tang imperial family members and nobles hunting, and Tang imperials family members and nobles worshipping Buddha. These murals depict every aspect of the life of the court and nobility of the Tang Dynasty, covering politics, economy, culture, religion, and music of that period in Chinese history. The murals vividly show the expressions of the people, their headdresses, costumes, hand ornaments, their bodies, gestures, and animals. This series of Ancient Chinese Art will systematically show different categories of cultural relics from different historical periods in China, demonstrating the most beautiful artistic attainments of each dynasty. Readers will appreciate the soul of ancient Chinese art while reviewing these cultural relics directly and tranquilly. The beauty of ancient Chinese art transcends time, space, cultures, races, beliefs, etc.

This text deals with Chinese art during the Tang Dynasty, from 618 to 907. It presents the artistic findings from the last ten years of archaeological excavation in China--findings that have never before been published in the West. Court Art of the Tang reveals the magnificence of Tang art through the presentation of ceramics, wall paintings, and utensils made of gold, silver, bronze, and porcelain. The book aims to place these new materials in their artistic and historical context. It structures the new findings in chronological order, using culture and history as a background. The study treats each class of art separately and distinctly, exploring the aesthetic evolution of both secular and religious art. Relevant literary expressions incorporated into the discussions make Court Art of the Tang an especially unique work. The book gives readers a comprehensive and diverse look at the glorious and extraordinary achievements of a ruling family. The book consists of 233 pages of text, a bibliography and an index, a glossary, and 117 illustrations. Court Art of the Tang will provide insightful reading for art collectors and museum-goers and serve as an important text in Asian Studies Departments and in courses in the arts of China.Contents: List of Illustrations; Preface; Ackowledgements; Introduction; Early Tang 618-712; Middle Tang 712-805; Late Tang 805-907; Conclusion; Illustrations; Glossary; Bibliography; Index.

We might think the Egyptians were the masters of building tombs, but no other civilization has devoted more time and resources to underground burial structures than the Chinese. For at least five thousand years, from the fourth millennium B.C.E. to the early twentieth century, the Chinese have been building some of the world’s most elaborate tombs and furnishing them with exquisite objects. It is these objects and the concept of the tomb as a “treasure-trove” that The Art of the Yellow Springs seeks to critique, drawing on recent scholarship to examine memorial sites the way they were meant to be experienced: not as a mere store of individual works, but as a work of art itself. Wu Hung bolsters some of the new trends in Chinese art history that have been challenging the conventional ways of studying funerary art. Examining the interpretative methods themselves that guide the study of memorials, he argues that in order to understand Chinese tombs, one must not necessarily forget the individual works present in them—as the beautiful color plates here will prove—but consider them along with a host of other art-historical concepts. These include notions of visuality, viewership, space, analysis, function, and context. The result is a ground-breaking new assessment that demonstrates the amazing richness of one of the longest-running traditions in the whole of art history.
