The King of Darkness possesses her body to set her coven aflame to destroy the realm. Now, she is no longer the night-witch monarch who will change history's perception of her kind.

Minor signs of wear on the interior.; Catalogue from the exhibition "China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD," held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, October 12, 2004-January 23, 2005.; The Han (221 B.C.-A.D. 206) and Tang (618-907) dynasties mark the two great eras of early imperial China. From the fall of the Han at the turn of the third century to reunification under the Sui in the seventh, the country experienced devastation from war and social upheaval. It was also, however, a period of creativity and cultural change. The political fragmentation that occurred between the dynasties and the massive migration of nomadic peoples into China resulted in contact with every part of Asia and the introduction of foreign ideas, religions, and art forms and motifs. An important aspect of the cultural exchange that took place at this time was the spread of Buddhism in China. By the Tang dynasty, thousands of foreigners were traveling to the capital, Chang'an, which flourished as a great cosmopolitan center of world commerce and culture. The integration of foreign motifs and styles with the traditional arts of China is the focus of this catalogue and the landmark exhibition that it accompanies, "China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD," held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition com- prises some three hundred objects, most of them excavated in recent years and many never before seen out- side China. Each work is discussed in terms of its aesthetic qualities and art-historical significance and in the context of the philosophical and religious ideas that are reflected in iconography and style. In an introductory essay, James C. Y. Watt, Brooke Russell Astor Chairman, Department of Asian Art, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, discusses the art and history of the entire period. Essays by both Chinese and Western scholars explore important aspects of metalwork, glass, and textiles, as well as the development of Buddhist art in China.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The 'Global' and the 'Local' in Early Modern and Modern East Asia presents a unique set of historical perspectives by scholars from two important universities in the East Asian region--The University of Tokyo (Todai) and Fudan University, along with East Asian Studies scholars from Princeton University. Two of the essays address the international leanings in the histories of their respective departments in Todai and Fudan. The rest of the essays showcase how such thinking about the global and local histories have borne fruit, as the scholars of the three institutions contributed essays, arguing about the philosophies, methodologies, and/or perspectives of global history and how it relates to local stories. Authors include Benjamin Elman, Haneda Masashi, and Ge Zhaoguang.…

The dust jacket shows edge wear, scuffs and scratches. Minor signs of wear on the interior.; "The present study documents remarkable discoveries made over the last twenty years or more in what is today north-eastern China, in the present-day Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia. Discoveries of finely crafted jades, especially slit rings and tools, have pushed back the achievements of jade working to at least 8,000 years ago. The fine translucent stones we know today as nephrite, or jade, were carefully chosen and skilfully worked by the peoples of what is now designated as the Xinglongwa culture. These jades herald the beginnings of a long tradition that distinguishes East Asia from many other parts of the world, most especially from the cultures of territories at the other end of the Eurasian landmass, Western Asia and Europe. There gold came to rule supreme at the top of a hierarchy of materials; in East Asia, starting from another base, jade was to become pre-eminent in the Chinese-speaking world. What, therefore, this report offers us is a route into a whole range of questions about the development of the societies of East Asia. The questions concern the discovery both of the material and of techniques for working it. They also embrace issues such as the deployment of jade in social and ideological structures. And they involve us in considering the reasons for the geographical spread of jade and especially of slit rings, and the implications of such a spread. Although we cannot establish today the ideas and beliefs that united or separated the different people who used slit rings, these valuable materials, none the less, offer us important evidence of complex societies about which these questions should be raised." excerpt from the foreword by Jessica Rawson.…
