Description Of Chinese Pottery And Porcelain $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:In the figures reproduced here, however, I have not followed the order of the original. The description of each piece by Hsiang Yuan-p’ien is translated by me as literally as possible. ‘ 1. Vase (Ku) of Ju-chou Porcelain of the Sung Dynasty. ‘ This vase of slender horn-like form with wide trumpet- shaped mouth, decorated with palm-leaf designs and scroll ornament, is copied from an ancient bronze figured in the Po ku t’u of the Hsiian-ho period. It is of the same height and size as in the figure. Very few specimens of Ju-chou porcelain survive to the present day, and those we have are mostly cups and dishes, generally, moreover, damaged and imperfect. A perfect piece like this vase, without the least damage or the slightest crack, is extremely rare. Besides, vases of this form designed to hold flowers are all artistically finished, as compared with other things intended for commoner use. The vase is good both in its form and in the colour of the glaze, excelling the productions either of the Kuan (Imperial) or Ko factories, so that one does not marvel at the high sum at which it is valued. I saw it at the Capital (Peking) in the collection of Huang, General of the Guards, who told me that he had bought it for 150,000 cash from Yun, one of the City Magistrates.’ ‘ 2. Ink-pallet (Yen) of Imperial Porcelain of the Sung Dynasty. ‘ This Pallet was moulded after a pallet used by the Emperor, kept in the Hsuan-ho Hall of the Palace, and is of the same size and diameter as in the figure. It is made in the form of a section of a vase, with two loop handles through which string can be threaded for hanging it on the wall. A trench is cut near the margin of the upper surface to hold water, and an oval space in the centre shows the brown paste, which is left unglazed, so as to b… |

Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632-1717) $65 Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late-17th-century China, played a key role both in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting and in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Qing court. An artist of protean talent and immense ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest artistic innovations of late imperial China. This comprehensive study of the painter’s career—the first published in English—features essays examining his life and achievement as well as his masterwork, the monumental scroll depicting the Kangxi emperor’s Southern Inspection Tour. Twenty-seven of Wang Hui’s paintings, drawn from the Metropolitan Museum and from museums in Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai, and Tokyo, are supplemented by a wealth of images ranging from ancient Chinese paintings to works by Wang’s contemporaries. |

Once on a Moonless Night $14.95 From the author of the beloved best seller Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, a haunting tale of love and of the beguiling power of a lost language.When Puyi, the last emperor, was exiled to Manchuria in the early 1930s, it is said that he carried an eight-hundred-year-old silk scroll inscribed with a lost sutra composed by the Buddha. Eventually the scroll would be sold illicitly to an eccentric French linguist named Paul d’Ampere, in a transaction that would land him in prison, where he would devote his life to studying the ineffably beautiful ancient language of the forgotten text.Our unnamed narrator, a Western student in China in the 1970s, hears this story from the greengrocer Tumchooq—his name the same as that of the language in which the scroll is written—who has recently returned from three years of reeducation. She will come again and again to Tumchooq’s shop near the gates of the Forbidden City, drawn by the young man and his stories of an estranged father. But when d’Ampere is killed in prison, Tumchooq disappears, abandoning the narrator, now pregnant with his child. And it is she, going in search of her lost love, who will at last find the missing scroll and discover the truth of the Buddha’s lesson that begins “Once on a moonless night . . .” in this story that carries us across the breadth of China’s past, the myth and the reality. |

The Hand of Kahless: The Final Reflection and Kahless $23.95 The fiercest battles and proudest warriors throughout Klingon history are said to reflect the honor and glory of the race’s first emperor, Kahless the Unforgettable. But history is not always truthful. And for both the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets, the real truth may be too difficult to accept.In the pages of a novel disclaimed by Starfleet, an enemy offers his perspective on events that transpired during the formative years of Klingon-Federation relations in the early twenty-third century. Chronicling the life story of Krenn, a Klingon war strategist who learns of peace while on a mission to Earth, the novel is a testimony to his efforts to preserve the honor of his people…by preventing total war against the then-struggling Federation.Nearly a century later, a clone of the revered Kahless oversees the Klingon Empire. But when the myths and legends associated with the original emperor are disputed following the discovery of an ancient scroll, the new Kahless faces treason from within his own council, and impending civil war that could tear the empire apart. His sole chance for restoring his people’s shattered faith must come from the outside — specifically, from Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Worf of the U.S.S. Enterprise. |

The Joshua Memorandum $9.99 In the Prologue of The Joshua Memorandum, Roman Emperor Constantine receives a missive from his mother, Helena Augusta, who has been doing excavations in Palestine. She requests his assistance in correctly translating an Aramaic scroll she has recently discovered there-a scroll with revelations which could prove troublesome to her new-found Christian faith. Constantine is going to grant his Noble Mother’s request; but upon reflecting on what she has already sent him regarding the contents of that scroll, he decides to also use those contents as a bargaining chip with the Christian bishops who are about to hold their First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in the year 325.Sixteen centuries later, John Boyer, a graduate major in history at UC Berkeley, attends a year-end party at Professor Vernon’s house, and for the first time in many years, he wears a most unusual ring he has had in his possession since he was young. Vernon is fascinated with it, especially with the engraved symbols on it. Later, when John is at home and alone, he reflects on that ring. We learn that when he was seven years old, he was an orphan living with his grandparents in a small village on the island of Samos, Greece, and had recently been adopted by his paternal uncle who lived in California. Shortly before immigrating to America, young Yannis and his cousin found a metal box in an abandoned monastery near their village. The box contained three old scrolls, on one of which was attached the ring. They kept the ring and turned the scrolls over to their grandfather who, after consulting with the village priest, had them hidden. What John does not know is that Professor Vernon’s fascination with his ring and thefurther research he does on it, together with two other totally independent events that take place during that summer, will lead to the discovery of the scrolls and the eventual disclosure of their contents.
