  • Keeping Watch on Intangible Cultural Heritage: Live Transmission and Sustainable Development of Chinese Lacquer Art
    sustainability Article Keeping Watch on Intangible Cultural Heritage: Live Transmission and Sustainable Development of Chinese Lacquer Art Xiaoting Song 1, Yongzhong Yang 1,*, Ruo Yang 1 and Mohsin Shafi 2 1 Business School, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China 2 School of Economics and Management, Leshan Normal University, Leshan 614000, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 May 2019; Accepted: 9 July 2019; Published: 16 July 2019 Abstract: Countries all over the world have been constantly exploring ways to rescue and protect intangible cultural heritage. While learning from other countries’ protection measures, the Chinese government is also constantly exploring ways that conform to China’s national conditions. As China’s first batch of intangible cultural heritage, lacquer art boasts a brilliant history, but many people are not familiar with it today. Moreover, in the process of modernization, the lacquer art transmission is declining day by day, and it is facing unprecedented major crises such as loss and division of history into periods. Hence, it is essential to verify and reveal the challenges and dilemmas in the lacquer art transmission, and come up with corresponding protection measures around these problems. First of all, this research, through literature review, “horizontally” explores the current research status and the universal problems of lacquer art transmission from the macro level. With a view to make up for the deficiencies of the existing research and further supplement the empirical evidence, the current research, with the transmission of “Chengdu lacquer art” as an example and through in-depth interviews, tracks and investigates the whole process of transmission of Chengdu Lacquer Art Training Institute, and “vertically” analyzes the survival situation of lacquer art transmission and the core problems affecting transmission behaviors from the micro level.

  • Inheritance, Protection and Innovative Development of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage—Carved Lacquerware
    https://doi.org/10.37420/icaces.2020.031 Inheritance, Protection and Innovative Development of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage—Carved Lacquerware Desai Jiang, Yue Xu College of Arts, Guilin University of Technology, Guilin 541006, China Abstract: This paper studies the protection and inheritance of this precious China’s intangible cultural heritage from the aspects of carving lacquer technology, personnel training and innovation. Focusing on the protection of carving lacquer technology and the innovation in the design and production of carved lacquer handicrafts, it is proposed to protect the carving lacquer technology from three aspects which is intellectual property right, personnel training and raw material. In terms of technical innovation, the possibility of combining carved lacquer with various materials is studied and analyzed. Keywords: Carved lacquer; Arts and crafts; Lacquerware; Intangible cultural heritage 1 Introduction Carved lacquer is a unique category of arts and crafts in China. It can also be called Tihong, Tihuang,Tihei,Ticai and Tixi, because of its different colors. Among them, Beijing carved lacquerware is the most representative example, and has many quality products in the world. Carved lacquer has a long history. According to records, it can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty carved lacquer gradually flourished, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were its heyday of development. Carved lacquer handicrafts have won many awards in international expositions and earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country in special period. In 2006, carved lacquer was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in China. Unfortunately, since the 1990s, the carved lacquer industry has gradually shrunk, as the number of employees is extremely reduced and the trend is aging, cause the inheritance of skills has seriously broken down.

    For Immediate Release March 1, 2004 Contact: Bendetta Roux 212.636.2680 [email protected] POWER, BEAUTY AND ENLIGHTENED BEINGS Indian and Southeast Asian Art March 25, 2004 New York – On March 25, the Indian and Southeast Asian Art sale will round off the trilogy of Asian Art sales taking place at Christie’s in Rockefeller Center this spring. Besides offering rare and important examples of sculpture, paintings, ritual objects and works of art from Gandhara, India, Tibet, Nepal and Southeast Asia, the spring sale will now also include a section dedicated to 20th century Indian paintings. The sale commences with a fine group of Buddhist sculpture from the ancient kingdom of Gandhara, present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan, at the crossroads of East and West. Included are an impressive figure of Buddha (estimate: $120,000-180,000); a finely carved representation of a Bodhisattva (estimate: $80,000-120,000); a life-size head of a Bodhisattva (estimate: $35,000- 50,000), formerly in the collection of Nelson A. Rockefeller, and a sensitively carved face of Buddha (estimate: $15,000-20,000), all executed in gray schist. Many of the sculptures in the sale come from renowned collections and were highlighted in major exhibitions and catalogue essays. One of the most outstanding works of art to be offered this season is an important bronze figure of Parvati (estimate: $500,000-700,000), South India, Chola Period, 12th century. The representation of the Hindu Goddess Parvati is a celebration of womanhood and a glorious tribute to Indian beauty. This magnificent sculpture belonged to Comte Hadelin de Meeûs d’Argenteuil, ‘Ambassadeur Extraordinaire’ in Brussels, Belgium.

  • The Concept of the Five Famous Wares of the Song Dynasty —A Modern Invention
    The Concept of the Five Famous Wares of the Song Dynasty —A Modern Invention Sabrina Rastelli Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Venice, Italy Abstract The concept of the five famous wares of the Song dynasty is a fundamental theory that has influenced both researching and learning about Chinese ceramics. Archaeological excavations carried out since the 1950s and particularly during the past two decades have provided modern scholars with many and precious pieces of information that have deeply changed our understanding of the history of Chinese ceramics. They have also undermined the concept itself, but when discussing Ding, Ru, Jun, Guan or Ge experts seldom resist the temptation to remind that it is one of the five famous wares. The aim of this paper is to trace back when and how this definition was coined, by combing through Chinese sources. Key words five famous wares China ceramics ceramic literature Song The concept of the five famous wares of the Song dynasty (Songdai Wuda Mingyao 宋代五大名窑 ) is a fundamental theory that has influenced both researching and learning about Chinese ceramics. At the end of the 1980s, Song wares were classified as either official or popular. The first category was constituted by the so-called five famous wares of the Song dynasty, namely Ding（定）, Ru（汝）, Jun（钧）, Guan（官）and Ge（哥）. Ten years later, while researching for my PhD thesis, I began to doubt the exactness of this theory, but I explored the problem only from the perspective of the Yaozhou ( 耀州 ) kilns (Rastelli, 2008).

  • Preliminary Notes on the Uigur and Tibetan Versions of the Sitdtapatradharani
    TIBOR PORCIO (Szeged) Preliminary Notes on the Uigur and Tibetan Versions of the Sitdtapatradharani As is familiar to scholars in the field, the Uigur of Eastern Turkestan created a vast Buddhist literature, and the majority of this literature com- prises translations and adaptations of various Buddhist texts from different languages. These translations and adaptations can be divided into two main groups: 1. texts belonging to the pre-Mongolian period (ninth to twelfth cen- turies AD); 2. texts belonging to the Mongolian period (thirteenth to four- teenth centuries AD) (Zieme 1992:16). A chronological order can be estab- lished according to the original languages from which these translations were made: the Tocharian, the Chinese, the Tibetan, and finally the Sanskrit which, presumably, began only in the latter period (Zieme 1992:16). The first wave of translation from Tibetan dates back to the Yuan period (1280-1367). Works belonging to this period include the Manjusrl-Sâdhana or the Guruyoga by Saskya Pandita etc.1 Other works such as the Usmsavijayadhâram (Muller 1910:27-50) or the Sitdtapatradharani (Miiller 1910:50-70, 100), exhibit signs of having been translated from Tibetan. I have chosen the latter text as the subject of my current investigations. The Sitâtapatrâ text must have been very popular from the fifth or sixth century onwards, and remains so among Tibetans even today. A number of manuscripts in different languages have been discovered in different places - from Central Asia to Nepal2 - and the text is also a part of the Chinese, the Tibetan and the Mongolian Buddhist Canons. ' A list of the Uigur works translated from Tibetan originals is found in Kara-Zieme 1976:14-15 and Zieme 1992:40-42.
