The lavishly illustrated volume presents in dazzling visual detail
a highly engaging introduction to almost 2000 years of Chinese
history-from the founding of the Chinese Empire in 221 BCE to the
Ming dynasty, the last dynasty to rule before the country opened to
the outside world in the middle of the seventeenth century. "China"
tells this dynamic story through hundreds of breathtaking full-page
images of people, landscapes, artworks, artifacts, and more. The
inviting, beautifully designed pages feature crisply written,
up-to-date text, quotations from ancient sources that establish
context for the personalities and episodes for each historic
period, extended captions that explore the visual details of the
images, information on where to see the images in museums, and
more. The book brings together in one convenient place the most
significant products of Chinese culture, showing in particular the
evolution of the arts, everyday lifestyles, religious beliefs, the
coexistence of tradition and innovation, and sacred and profane
values. For travelers, students, and general readers of all levels,
"China" brings alive a great and ancient empire.
