ART AND THE BRONZES - After trying to establish what art is, we look at the wonderfuI bronze work of early times in China. CERAMICS - Fine ceramics from many different ages have come down to us; in particuIar the Tang Sung and Ming dynasty ware. THE CHINESE CHARACTER SCRIPT - The Chinese character script is difficuIt to Iearn but beautifuI to see, and writing it is regarded as an art form. POETRY - Poets have always been heId in high regard in China. Even in translation their particuIar beauties shine through. LlTERATURE - Literature in the form of pIays and noveIs deveIoped in Iater centuries just as they did in other parts of the world. EPlLOGUE - After their earIy briIliance, under a deeply conservative Ieadership, the taIents of the Chinese in alI fields began to be stifIed and hence decay. |
