Summary: |
"This book presents for the first time the text and annotated translation of a work,
the original editions of which were believed lost, which is the oldest comprehensive account
of Chinese antiquities as viewed by Chinese connoisseurship.
The KO KU YAO LUN was written in the first Ming reign by Ts'ao Chao...
a basic text for the understanding of Chinese connoisseurship of jades, bronzes, lacquer,
porcelain and enamels and well as painting and calligraphy, in the 14th and 15th centuries,
at a time when tradition was being revived after the foreign rule of the Mongol Yuan dynasty..." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
