"A window into a world of extraordinary beauty and mystery, China: 3,000 Years of Art and Literature reveals the glorious history of this ancient and fascinating culture. In 240 pages and more than one hundred full-color images, this volume traces China through its tales and stories, plays and poetry, paintings and objects--from ancient divinations incised on bovine scapula to modern "people's literature" spawned from revolution; from Song dynasty silk scrolls depicting sublime mountain valleys to government-commissioned propaganda posters. China juxtaposes text and images chronologically ordered within each of eight thematic chapters: Birth & Life, Nature & Environment, Love & Family, Mind & Memory, Food & Drink, War & Politics, Religion & Spirituality, Death & Afterlife" -- inside cover.
