Download or read book Song Blue and White Porcelain on the Silk Road written by Adam T. Kessler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western scholars of ancient Chinese ceramics have long thought blue and white porcelain manufactured before the Ming (1368-1644 A.D.), dates to the Yuan (1279-1368 A.D.). Even in China today these porcelains are still termed “Yuan Blue and White.” Based upon first-hand surveys of sites in Inner Mongolia, Adam T. Kessler’s Song Blue and White Porcelain on the Silk Road demonstrates that blue and white was made during the Song (960-1279 A.D.) ended up in the hands of the Xi Xia (1038-1226 A.D.) and the Jin (1115-1234 A.D.). Blue and white found today in hoards was buried prior to Mongol invasions of China in the 1200s. Sites from the Philippines to Egypt have yielded Song blue and white. Also reviewed is the cobalt-bearing ore used by Song China to create blue and white.

Download or read book Max Weber s Economic Ethic of the World Religions written by Thomas C. Ertman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together for the first time in English internationally-recognized specialists who seek to identify what is 'living' and what is 'dead' in the great German social scientist Max Weber's analyses of China, India and Ancient Israel found in his massive, unfinished Economic Ethic of the World Religions. In so doing, the volume offers a powerful new perspective on the current debate concerning the timing of and deeper roots of the 'Great Divergence' - and more recent convergence - in the economic and political development of the West on the one hand, and the great civilizations of Asia on the other. At the same time, this volume also rebalances our understanding of Weber's entire intellectual output by returning The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism to its proper place within Economic Ethic of the World Religions and establishing that work as the equal of the similarly unfinished Economy and Society.
Download or read book The History of Chinese Ceramics written by Lili Fang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 1184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting the perspective of anthropology of art and combining it with global academic insights, this book helps the readers to recognize that “history is, in great measure, the record of human activity which spreads from the local to the regional, from the regional to the global, and from the global to the universal.” Readers will learn that China was not only the first country to create porcelain, but also the first to export it to the world, both the products and its techniques. Therefore, the history of Chinese ceramics reflects the history of Chinese foreign trade on the one hand and depicts the expansion of Chinese ceramic techniques and cultures on the other. In addition to ceramics types, molds, decoration, and techniques, the book analyzes the spiritual impacts and aesthetic conceptions embodied in the utensils of daily use by the Chinese literati. Therefore, it reaches the conclusion that ideological systems and not technological systems are what bring about social revolutions. In addition, the book is richly illustrated with pictures of earthenware and finely glazed pieces from later periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "New Export China provides a materials-focused framework for contemporary Chinese art, taking works in porcelain by international artists Ai Weiwei, Liu Jianhua, Ah Xian, and Sin-ying Ho as case studies for the role of travel and translation in global artistic practice. Porcelain has long been a vehicle for transmitting cultural knowledge, yet little has been written about its relevance for an era when our interconnection is clearer than ever. Taking a thematic approach, this book positions porcelain art within current debates around archival intervention, artistic authenticity, racial and gender identity, global capital and migrant labor, cultural stereotypes, and ownership of heritage"--
