by Liu Ting
About This Novel
During the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government established an art and cultural relic inspection team of the Ministry of Education headed by Wang Ziyun, which conducted field surveys and research on folk art and cultural relics in the northwest and other regions (Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and Henan). The main research objects of this northwest survey are divided into four categories: sculpture, architecture, painting, and folk customs. The work project mainly starts from two main lines, namely: looking for the "field of art history" and looking for the "field of art." The Ministry of Education organized this Northwest expedition to conduct research on the history of unknown art. The results were fruitful, and the follow-up research lasted for a long time, which directly affected Wang Ziyun's academic orientation and research characteristics for the rest of his life. This book is a comprehensive and systematic study of this inspection activity.
