Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Art A few words on the writing and pronunciation of Chinese words, addressed to novices in Sinology, may not be out of place here. The Chinese language, it need hardly be said, is monosyllabic, and each word is represented by a separate character in the written script. These characters were originally pictures of natural objects or ideas, used singly or in combination, and it was not until later that they were distinguished into two categories, as phonetics, and determinatives or radicals. The radicals in modern use are 214, a number arbitrarily fined for dictionary purposes, as a means of classifying the or more written characters of the language, and of providing a ready means of coining new combinations. The large majority of characters of the modern script are composed of a radical, which gives a clue to the meaning by indicating the particular class of things or ideas to which the combination of which it forms a part belongs, and a phonetic, which conveys some idea of the sound.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Chinese Art The Government Museum at Peking, contain ing some of the best art treasures of China, is unique among the museums of the world. In architectural design and detail and in historical surroundings, as well as in the examples of art products Stored within its walls, this Museum is exclusively and characteristically Chinese. The bronzes and jades, paintings and manuscripts, pottery and porcelain, inks and writing-brushes, all owe their common origin to the genius of the Chinese race. This Museum has not needed to borrow from other nations examples of an earlier art, out of which its own development has directly or indirectly sprung; on the contrary, the art spirit which found its expression in these various forms during the historic period joins hands even with the earliest mythological and legendary tra ditions of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Chinese Painting With the great T'ang era, 618 to 905, the influence of Buddhism had reached its full, and the three centuries are marked by extreme vigor, and by the definite development of the so-called Northern and Southern Schools. To give this period some illustration to aid our apprehension of its place, we might compare it to the Chaucerian period of English; and then we can think of the equally great Sung period, from 960 to 1280, as comparable in terms to an Elizabethan era, save that in each case we must measure the sustained strength of the periods not by one life or reign, but by the full life of the dynasty, three hundred years.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selection From Modern Chinese Arts for the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition The notes contained in the following pages were originally intended as a general description accompanying each of the collection of pictures which Mr. Shen Tun-ho was to send to the Panama Pacific Exposition. Above all they had to be short, and of such a nature, that the generality of visitors at the Exposition may glance at the pictures, express their views about them, and then, without more ado, pass on to the myriad other things which they have to behold and admire. With this in View I wrote these notes; and I am afraid that I have hardly done justice either to the individual pictures commented on, or to the Chinese pictorial art in general. Now that they are to appear in this little book, I feel it necessary to preface them with an apology; and by way of an amendment I would add a word more in appreciation of the Chinese art of painting.
