This book, a collection of ancient Chinese cultural relics, deals with relics from Qing Dynasty, 1644 to 1911. There are two volumes dealing with relics in this period. This book contains 377 relics. The ancestors of the people who established the Manchu Qing Dynasty lived in northeast China in the territory lying between the 'white mountains and the black rivers'. After establishing their capital in Beijing. the Qing Dynasty defeated all the forces that opposed them and they quickly consolidated their frontier defences. in the nearly 300 years of the Qing Dynasty, China achieved some remarkable things especially in the fields of culture and art even though it lagged behind in many other respects in global terms. Jade ware reached a great peak in the mid Qing Dynasty and surpassed previous achievement in size, selection of materials and overall craftsmanship. Porcelain production reached its highest ever peak in this era. Jingdezhen remained the centre for production of porcelain. The period also saw the revival in the history of Chinese calligraphy. Stone inscriptions grew in popularity and a number of pioneer masters emerged and exerted a far-reaching influence. Seal character calligraphy and li calligraphy (official script) were revised again. Literati painting played a dominant role and landscape painting and impressionistic ink and wash painting were prevalent Laquer craftwork in all shapes and sizes reached a great deal level of maturity. Existing techniques were improved and others developed. Embroidery reached unprecedented heights. Silk tapestries became more and more exquisite and the production of metal bodied enamelware reached a great peak. Bamboo wood and horn carvings also were developed. Jade objects went through three stages of development. 1. Frugal period, with jade production was small and made by ordinary craftsmen and lack originality. 2. Due to a growing Qing comic strength. and a plentiful supply of jade materials the jade industry began to flourish, and became one of the high points in jade carving in China. 3. Late period of the Qing Dynasty and due to increasing corruption in society and large number of difficulties, both domestic and external, there was less appetite for large scale pieces of jade in part also due to the high cost of production. This book, the ninth in a ten-volume collection, brings to the English-speaking world a series of books from China which has been complied by an Expert Committee of the Chinese Society of Cultural Relics. There are 377 descriptions.

A collection of ancient Chinese Cultural Relics from the period of the Three Kingdoms, Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties and Southern and Northern Dynasties, 220 to 589. It covers jade and bronze ware, gold and silver ware, porcelain, painting, calligraphy, stone carving, and handicrafts. The books covers jade and bronze ware, gold and silver ware, porcelain, painting, calligraphy, stone carving and handicrafts from the period of the Three Kingdoms, Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, 220 to 589. Unified ancient China during the Qin and Han Dynasties ended with political division into the Three Kingdoms of the three states of Wei, Shu and Wu. Subsequent centuries witnessed frequent shifts in power, including the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties of the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, and Northern Dynasties of Northern Wi, Eastern Wi, Western Wei, Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. National reunification was finally achieved again in 589 when the Sui Dynasty overthrew the state of Chen. The break-up of the nation amid social unrest resulted in economic stagnation, greatly affecting the development of the jade manufacturing sector, having a direct contact with rituals and funerals. Changes in ideology and culture also led to people developing different ideas on the use of jades. Certainly, the development of Chinese jade reached its nadir during the period from the Wei and Jin to Southern and Northern Dynasties. The bronze ware that enjoyed a vogue from the Shang Dynasty also declined in popularity and usage. From the variety of art works to their style characteristics, hey basically continued the traditions of the Han Dynasty, but were rather poorly made compared with those produced during the Han period. National integration, however, led the people of various ethnic groups to learn from each other and helped form some common cultural characteristics. This can be found through the casting of bronze ware. Moreover, some bronze vessels also reflect the unique customs of certain ethnic groups to some extent. This book, the fourth in a ten-volume collection, brings to the English-speaking world a series of books from China which has been complied by an Expert Committee of the Chinese Society of Cultural Relics. There are 367 descriptions.
