Murals have been found in different countries and nations since the beginning of human civilization, a period of nearly ten thousand years. Many beautiful murals dating from the ancient times in Egypt, Rome, Russia, and Babylon are still well preserved today. Their unique artistic charm still influences us. China is also known for her ancient murals, of which the famous Dunhuang Murals of the Tang Dynasty are most representative. They reflect the elements of politics, economy, culture, and religion of the glorious period of the Tang Dynasty. This album of murals of the Tang Dynasty is a collection of photographs of more than 200 representative murals of the Tang Dynasty preserved by our curator Yang’s family. They show flying Apsaras, heavenly music goddess, Buddha images, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Buddha’s warrior attendant, Buddhist sponsor worshipers of the court and nobility of the Tang Dynasty, Tang imperial family members and nobles hunting, and Tang imperials family members and nobles worshipping Buddha. These murals depict every aspect of the life of the court and nobility of the Tang Dynasty, covering politics, economy, culture, religion, and music of that period in Chinese history. The murals vividly show the expressions of the people, their headdresses, costumes, hand ornaments, their bodies, gestures, and animals. This series of Ancient Chinese Art will systematically show different categories of cultural relics from different historical periods in China, demonstrating the most beautiful artistic attainments of each dynasty. Readers will appreciate the soul of ancient Chinese art while reviewing these cultural relics directly and tranquilly. The beauty of ancient Chinese art transcends time, space, cultures, races, beliefs, etc.

A leading scholar in the United States on Chinese archaeology challenges long-standing conceptions of the rise of political authority in ancient China. Questioning Marx's concept of an "Asiatic" mode of production, Wittfogel's "hydraulic hypothesis," and cultural-materialist theories on the importance of technology, K. C. Chang builds an impressive counterargument, one which ranges widely from recent archaeological discoveries to studies of mythology, ancient Chinese poetry, and the iconography of Shang food vessels.

Art is always a product of cultural evolution, and The History and Spirit of Chinese Art looks at this universal process as it unfolded in ancient China. With "mountain-water" landscape paintings, works of classical Chinese calligraphy, and blue and white porcelain widely displayed in museums and fetching high prices in auction houses worldwide, Chinese art is no longer foreign to the Western world. However, to many, the making of such cultural artefacts remains an enigmatic process. Indeed, Chinese art, the product of such an old civilization, was shaped by an ongoing process of evolution along the ebbs and flows of China's history as a nation. In The History and Spirit of Chinese Art, aesthetics expert Zhang Fa deciphers the philosophies and thoughts that have defined Chinese art since the very beginning of the Chinese civilization, moving through the dynastic landmarks of artistic development with discussions of numerous art forms including paintings, architecture, dance and music, calligraphy, and literature.
