Chinese Dragon Robes by Valery M. Garrett Pdf

Robes with dragons first appeared in China during the Ming dynasty, and under the Qing dynasty they were worn on official occasions by the country's emperors and ruling elite. After the Qing fell in 1911, their wear became less frequent, but they are now avidly collected and displayed in museums and private collections throughout the world. This fully illustrated guide introduces Chinese dragon robes and their complex history, exploring several varieties of robes and their contemporary variations. It also addresses their construction techniques and, as guidance for dating the robes, provides detailed illustrations showing how the designs of dragons and surrounding symbols evolved through the centuries.

Legend of the Chinese Dragon by Marie Sellier Pdf

In ancient China, the different tribes lived under the protection of benevolent spirits that took the form of animals--fish, ox, bird, horse, and serpent. But, as often happens, the tribes grew envious of each other and began to fight amongst themselves in the names of their spirits. The children decided to declare a war on war by creating a creature that combined the best of all the spirits and would protect all the people. To this day, the dragon is a symbol of peace and plays an especially important role in the celebration of the Chinese New Year. This timely message of cooperation and empowerment makes this book especially appealing to trade and institutional accounts. Communities with significant Chinese populations will also have a special interest in this title. Catherine Louis' Liu and the Bird was a critical hit with review journals, teachers, and librarians.
