Download or read book Ten Thousand Things written by Lothar Ledderose and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incomparable look at how Chinese artists have used mass production to assemble exquisite objects from standardized parts Chinese workers in the third century BC created seven thousand life-sized terracotta soldiers to guard the tomb of the First Emperor. In the eleventh century AD, Chinese builders constructed a pagoda from as many as thirty thousand separately carved wooden pieces. As these examples show, throughout history, Chinese artisans have produced works of art in astonishing quantities, and have done so without sacrificing quality, affordability, or speed of manufacture. In this book, Lothar Ledderose takes us on a remarkable tour of Chinese art and culture to explain how artists used complex systems of mass production to assemble extraordinary objects from standardized parts or modules. He reveals how these systems have deep roots in Chinese thought and reflect characteristically Chinese modes of social organization. Combining invaluable aesthetic and cultural insights with a rich variety of illustrations, Ten Thousand Things make a profound statement about Chinese art and society.

The visitor will observe a specimen of the latter in the collection. At nearly all the festivals observed by the Chinese a profusion of fireworks are exhibited. Their proficiency in the pyrotechnic art was lately displayed at Canton on the temporary cessation of hostilities. A representation was made of an immense vine arbour, which burned without consuming;--the trunk, branches, leaves, and fruit appeared in their natural colours, with, occasionally, butterflies apparently flitting among the branches. To this succeeded an immense number of rockets which formed themselves into innumerable stars, serpents, comets, and flying dragons. This magnificent display was followed by a grand discharge on all sides of a shower of fire, with which were intermixed variegated lanterns, some with sentences written on them, --together with figures of fruit, flowers, fans, &c. Then ascended a display of columns formed by rings of light, which lasted a few minutes and was unequalled in brilliancy by any previous device. At last the grand finale took place; the Chinese dragon of an immense size, appeared in all his majesty, surrounded by ten thousand winged reptiles, standards, and banners, when in an instant appeared upon the back of the monster, the figure of the Emperor, in blue lights. These successively changed to yellow, and lastly to the most intense white. A deafening report now rent the air, while a green veil arose over the Emperor, from the midst of which a volcano of rockets ascended. By [an ingenious contrivance, figures of boats, made of paper, arc capable of floating and moving upon the water, by means of..
