Some Early Chinese Symbols of Duality
The interplay of art, literature, and religion in Ṣafavid symbolism
The Persian literati have always delighted in poetic symbols and metaphors, and subtle plays on words. Therefore we should not be surprised to find that, during a brief period in the first part of the Ṣafavid dynasty when it was possible to use pictures in patterns and designs, these pictures often held symbolic connotations, conveyed through visual puns. Moreover, it seems that the second meaning carried in these puns usually involved a religiou…

Some Early Chinese Symbols of Duality
The Evolution of Magic Squares in China
MAGIC SQUARES are diagrams composed of numbers or letters, specially arranged in a rectangular pattern to produce certain distinctive effects. Although the lettered squares were very common in the Islamic world, they do not appear in China, so we shall here consider only the numbered ones. These numerical magic squares were normally composed of all the numbers from one to the square of the base number-for example, in the magic square of three, th…
A Chinese Soapstone Carving from Yucatan
J. Alden Mason (1951) described two soapstone figurines which seemed to be of Chinese manufacture that have turned up in Mexico and Guatemala, respectively. In connection with these, I should like to call attention to still another object of the same substance, discovered in Yucatan, which is undoubtedly of Chinese manufacture.Gann (1918) illustrates a 'soapstone lamp' which he had found in a mound near Bacalar in Quintana Roo. He describes this …

New Light on Huc and Gabet: Their Expulsion from Lhasa in 1846
Abbe huc's Travels in Tartary, Tibet and China, during the years 1844–5–6, has long since become one of the world's great travel classics. For some decades after its publication, however, it was read with the utmost scepticism. Foremost among the sceptics, and the book's chief detractor, was the Russian explorer, Prjevalsky, whose vindictive attempts to disprove Huc's statements caused many people to doubt that he and Father Gabet had ever entere…

The "TLV" Pattern on Cosmic Mirrors of the Han Dynasty
AMONG THE best-known of the Chinese bronze mirrors in our Occidental museums are the socalled TLV mirrors, most of which date from the H:an period (202 . c.-220 A. D.). The general type is quite common, and it has a number of subtypes differentiated by variations in background within the basic pattern.l The latter is characterized by three sets of angles, resembling the letters T, L, and V. These marks have long puzzled the Western Orientalists, …

The Panchen Lama's Visit to China in 1780: An Episode in Anglo-Tibetan Relations
In the autumn of 1773, the Panchen Lama of Tashilhunpo, Lobzang Paldan Yeshes, sent a letter to Warren Hastings in Calcutta. He was writing to ask for clemency on behalf of his vassal, the rajah of Bhutan, who had recently been defeated by the East India Company's soldiers in a border war. For some time, the officials of the company had been discussing how they might open relations with Tibet, and to Hastings this seemed the opportunity they had …

THE MAKING OF DRAGON ROBES BY SCHUYLER CAMMANN PH. D. For hundreds of years the choice products of the Chinese silk weavers have been admired and treasured in the Occident, but we still have comparatively little knowledge of the history of the silk industry in China and the methods that were used in weaving and dyeing. One way of obtaining such information is by studying the records of recent dynasties concerning some particular phase of the indu…
