Tang Style Blows the Threshold: the Aesthetic Game of Fabrics and Fashion
About This Novel
The Tang Dynasty was a highly cosmopolitan dynasty. Its capital, Chang'an, was the most populous city in the world at that time. It was connected to important markets and prosperous cultures in Central Asia and the Middle East through the Silk Road. In this book, author Chen Buyun reveals a vibrant Tang dynasty fashion system, examining Tang dynasty fashion styles based on archaeological sources-paintings, sculptures, and silk items-as well as records from almanacs, poetry, tax documents, economic treatises, and legal documents. "The Wind in the Tang Dynasty" is the result of a research project funded by the US Social Science Research Council (SSRC) and the Fulbright Scholarship. Li Hongbin, Li Zhisheng, Valerie Steele, Giorgio Riello and other well-known scholars in related fields are recommended reading by authoritative academic journals such as "Harvard Asian Studies" and "Journal of Chinese History".
