Donors of Longmen
Donors of is the first work in a Western language to re-create the history of the Longmen Grottoes, one of China's great stone sculpture treasure houses. Longmen, a UNESCO World Heritage site located near the old capital of Luoyang in modern Henan Province, consists of thousands of ancient cave chapels and shrines containing Buddhist icons of all sizes that were carved into the towering limestone cliffs from the fifth to the eighth centuries. Bey…
Cultural Intersections in Later Chinese Buddhism
In a demonstration of the value of interdisciplinary, culture-based approaches, this collection of essays on "later" Chinese Buddhism takes us beyond the bedrock subjects of traditional Buddhist historiography--scriptures and commentaries, sectarian developments, lives of notable monks--to examine a wide range of extracanonical materials that illuminate cultural manifestations of Buddhism from the Song dynasty (960-1279) through the modern period…

The Upright Brush
Arguing for the political rather than purely aesthetic basis for Yan Zhenqing's (709-785) reputation in Chinese calligraphy, the text posits that it was due to a handful of influential and well-educated men in the 11th century, who sought advancement by associating themselves with Yans' reputation

Engraved Calligraphy in China
In contrast to the focus on biography and autograph in traditional Chinese criticism on ink-written calligraphy, examination of engraved calligraphy allows new questions concerning changes in physical form and critical reception of works of art. Model-letters compendia began as engraved copies of calligraphers' correspondence; these letters were later altered through copying, reengraving, connoisseurship, and textual research. Stele inscriptions …
Public Values in Calligraphy and Orthography in the Tang Dynasty
Une calligraphie et une orthographe correctes etaient les deux qualites essentielles recquises lors des examens d'acces a une fonction gouvernementale, a partir de la dynastie des Tang. L'auteur s'interroge sur la facon dont ces valeurs visuelles expriment les valeurs inherentes aux apparitions publiques. Il se demande egalement si celles-ci etaient imposees par l'Etat et les besoins du systeme d'examens, ou si elles ont ete adoptees independamme…
The Engraved Model-Letters Compendia of the Song Dynasty
(Res.d'A.). The engraved model-letters calligraphy compendia of the Song dynasty functionned as performative histories of art. The course of their development, in terms of content and sponsorship, reveals how the compendia embodied the political tension between the scholar-official class and the throne during the Song. The compendia first display the universal acceptance of the classical tradition of Six Dynasties' calligraphy championned by the …
