Minimalist Chinese History in the Museum: Fragments of Civilization
About This Novel
This book is Zhang Jingwei, an anthropologist in the museum, a major new work after "A Minimalist History of China in the Museum". The book is divided into twelve chapters, continuing the basic pattern of the previous work's twelve cultural relics telling history. Among them are common cultural relics such as bronzes, pottery, porcelain, silk paintings, and brick paintings that are never lacking in museums, as well as special cultural relics such as incense burners, bronze mirrors, ornamental stones, and cultural relics. Each chapter is divided into six sections. The first section tells the story related to the cultural relic; the second section completes the phenomenological description of the cultural relic; the third section enters the historical space and integrates material culture and the context of the times; the fourth section attempts a structural analysis of the cultural relic from a higher dimension; the fifth section opens a dialogue between artworks and art history; and the last section reveals the cultural metaphor that cultural relics symbolize as a representation of the times. The book contains a total of more than 200 high-definition pictures of cultural relics, covering almost every museum collection category such as bronze, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, crafts, and architecture. Take readers to follow the cultural relics and re-enter history.
