[A General History of Chinese Art, Vol. 1-6]

A General History of Chinese Art comprises six volumes with a total of nine parts spanning from the Prehistoric Era until the 3^rd
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.
