The exterior shows wear marks, edge wear, scuffs and scratches, bumped edges which are slightly turning inwards, small perforation marks at the top of the front cover (also on the rear at the top). Interior in good condition with minor signs of wear.; "Since the early twentieth century, major archeological discoveries such as the Buddhist sculptures hoard at Longxing Temple in Qingzhou have provided Chinese historians with new materials and presented a new way for us to understand the Chinese artistic tradition. In the ninth century, Zhang Yanyuan's Lidai Minghua Ji (Famous Paintings throughout History), the world's first comprehensive history of art, was published in China. However, Zhang could have neither understood nor imagined many of the archeological discoveries of ancient Chinese artworks made over the last century. With these new sources, we can trace the history of Chinese art back several thousand years to distant antiquity and reconsider and update some basic concepts, terms, classification standards, and research methodologies. As a special program for the 34th World Congress of Art History, "Smashed and Reassembled" presents a completely new impression of Chinese antique art. These important archeological discoveries have been exhibited numerous times around the world in the last twenty years, and they have been recorded in various editions of Chinese and world art history textbooks. This exhibition changes the perspective, inspiring us by emphasizing the original meaning of these Buddhist statues and the way they were buried." preface by Fan Di'an, President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, September 1st, 2016.…
