This Pelican collection attempts to relate the traditional art-forms of China to the social, political, and technological conditions out of which they arose. Each art-form has a chapter of its own, where it is discussed in the context of a particular historical epoch. Volume one opens with an account of the geographical background of Chinese society, and of its prehistory. Then it follows a chapter on jade, set in the context of the late Neolithic China, and one on the art of the ritual bronzes covering the first two historical dynasties - the Shang-Yin and Chou.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39860926775383,"sku":"7859476","price":12.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243378_jpg.jpg?v=1658917959","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/chinese-art-i-ii-by-william-willetts-pelican-1958-first-editions","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
