Book excerpt: "This book offers, on a high level of scholarship, what the Chinese art field most needs: a thorough and penetrating study of a single major work, a study that illuminates not only the work itself but also a lot of surrounding territory. Methodologically sophisticated and written in a lively style, it is worth reading."--James Cahill, University of California "This book offers, on a high level of scholarship, what the Chinese art field most needs: a thorough and penetrating study of a single major work, a study that illuminates not only the work itself but also a lot of surrounding territory.
