Summary:

Dieser Band untersucht die Entwicklung der chinesischen Kunst in der Zeit der Fünf Dynastien, der Nördlichen und Südlichen Song-Dynastie, der Liao-Dynastie, der Westlichen Xia-Dynastie, der Jin-Dynastie sowie der Yuan-Dynastie. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Analyse der Kulturpolitik der jeweiligen Dynastien und der Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung von Tanz, Hofmusik und die darstellenden Künste. A General History of Chinese Art umfasst sechs Bände mit insgesamt neun Teilen, die von der prähistorischen Ära bis zum 3. Jahr von Xuantong während der Qing-Dynastie (1911) reichen. Das Werk bietet eine umfassende Zusammenstellung eingehender Studien über die Entwicklung chinesischer Kunst während der Regierungszeiten der jeweiligen Dynastien und untersucht die Entstehung eines breiten Spektrums künstlerischer Kategorien wie Musik, Tanz, Akrobatik, Gesang, Malerei, Kalligrafie, Skulptur, Architektur und Kunsthandwerk. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Referenzwerken bietet A General History of Chinese Art einen breiten Überblick über den Begriff der chinesischen Kunst, indem es von einem vielfältigen und weniger materiellen Verständnis von Kunst ausgeht, wie meist von der westlichen Wissenschaft vertreten.

This volume examines the progress of Chinese art during the time period of the Five Dynasties, Northern and Southern Song, Liao, Western Xia, Jin Dynasties as well as the Yuan Dynasty. A special focus lies on the analysis of cultural policies adopted during the reign of the respective dynasties and their effects on the development of dance, court music and drama. A General History of Chinese Art comprises six volumes with a total of nine parts spanning from the Prehistoric Era until the 3rd year of Xuantong during the Qing Dynasty (1911). The work provides a comprehensive compilation of in-depth studies of the development of art throughout the subsequent reign of Chinese dynasties and explores the emergence of a wide range of artistic categories such as but not limited to music, dance, acrobatics, singing, story telling, painting, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, and crafts. Unlike previous reference books, A General History of Chinese Art offers a broader overview of the notion of Chinese art by asserting a more diverse and less material understanding of arts, as has often been the case in Western scholarship.
