One of the most magnificent and enduring themes in Chinese painting
history can be found depicted in Daoist temples from the local
village up to the very capital, viz., the paintings of the Heavenly
Court (chaoyuan tu). Surprisingly, its images have remained largely
unstudied in Western scholarship. Drawing on a comparative study of
four complete sets of wall paintings dating back to the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries (the oldest examples), and their related
images, painting criticism, stele inscriptions, and Daoist ritual
manuals, the author offers the first comprehensive study of the
historical development, iconography, ritual context, methods of
mural design, and the personalisations made by patrons of the four
Heavenly Court paintings.
