Empire of Great Brightness by Craig Clunas (9781861893604)

Description - Empire of Great Brightness by Craig Clunas

This is an innovative and accessible history of a high point in Chinese culture,
explored through the riches of its images and objects. The book is not a simple emporer-by-emperor history, it instead introduces the reader to themes that provide stimulating and original points of entry to the culture of China: to ideas of motion and rest; to the position occupied by writing and objects featuring writing; to ideas about pleasure; and about violence and ageing.
