Synopsis
Buried for more than six centuries, a porcelain vase holds the deepest secrets of a family-and a nation. To read its story is to read the soul of China.
Jingdezhen, imperial China. In the city of porcelain, a flawless vase is more than a work of art. It is an inheritance, a form of political currency, and a promise of salvation. When rumors spread that the lost Spring Breeze Raises the Curtain Vase has survived, the declining Tang family is drawn into a dangerous contest among imperial commissioners, magistrates, merchants, missionaries, foreign diplomats, craftsmen, and servants. Each believes the vase can deliver power, wealth, freedom, or redemption.
Moving from the final years of the Southern Song to the twilight of the Qing dynasty and the Boxer Rebellion era, CHINA follows generations shaped by kiln fire and historical upheaval. Family loyalty collides with private desire. Porcelain becomes both treasure and curse. As foreign powers close in and the old order fractures, the people who create beauty must decide what can be preserved-and what must be broken.
Rich in the world of Jingdezhen porcelain, ceramic craftsmanship, court politics, and family secrets, Hong Sheng's sweeping historical novel combines multigenerational family drama, dark humor, and a haunting narrative perspective.
What survives when a civilization shatters? And can its fragments become the beginning of something new?
CHINA is a literary historical saga for readers drawn to imperial China, lost masterpieces, family dynasties, and novels in which art bears witness to history.
