前言
The Chinese civilization is one of the four most ancient in the world. Relative to the Egyptian, Indian and Tigris-Euphrates civilizations, it is characterized by a consistency and continuity throughout the millenniums. Rooted deep in this unique civilization originating from the Yangtze and Yellow River valleys, a yellow race known as the “Chinese” has, generation after generation, stuck to a unique cultural tradition. This tradition has remained basically unchanged even though political power has changed hands numerous times. Alien ethnic groups invaded the country’s heartland numerous times, but in the end all of them became members of a united family called “China.”Cultural relics, immeasurably large in quantity and diverse in variety and artistic style, bespeak the richness and profoundness of the Chinese civilization. These, as a matter of fact, cover all areas of the human race’s tangible culture. This book classifies China’s cultural relics into two major categories, immovable relics and removable relics. “Immovable relics” refer to those found on the ground and beneath, including ancient ruins, buildings, tombs and grotto temples. “Removable relics” include stone, pottery, jade and bronze artifacts, stone carvings, pottery figurines, Buddhist statues, gold and silver articles, porcelain ware, lacquer works, bamboo and wooden articles, furniture, paintings and calligraphic works, as well as works of classic literature. This book is devoted to removable cultural relics, though from time to time it touches on those of the first category.
导语摘要
“中华之美”丛书围绕中华优秀传统文化这一主题,择取其中15个专题分别加以介绍。这15个专题,包括以思想、智慧、艺术为主的“无形遗产”,以工艺、器物为主的“有形遗产”,以衣食住行乐为主的“民俗生活”,它们精心构架,有机结合,勾勒出中国文化的一个总体面貌,并反映出“中华文化独一无二的理念、智慧、气度、神韵”。
中国是世界著名的四大文明发祥地之一。今天的中国大地上,仍然保存着数量巨大、种类繁多的古代文明遗迹遗物。这些存留至今的珍贵文物,时代跨越了上下约7000年,集中体现了中国文明的源远流长和博大精深。本书选择中国文物中具有代表性的12大类进行介绍,包括陶器、青铜器、玉器、雕塑、金银器、瓷器等。它们以各自独特的方式,铭刻了历史长河中一个个不可复制的瞬间。让我们一起穿越时空的遂道,以这些古代文物为标识,去探寻中国文明的发展轨迹。China is the birthplace of one of the four greatest civilizations in the world, hence those cultural relics which, in huge quantities and immensely rich varieties, have always been fascinating. These cultural relics were produced during different periods of the Chinese history, over well over 7,000 years. They are gems of the Chinese civilization.This book gives a brief account of 8 types of cultural relics unearthed in China so far, including pottery, porcelain, jade and bronze. These are seen as the most representative of the Chinese culture, each in its own way providing a glimpse into ancient China.
