Tradition and Transformation: Cataloguing Chinese Art in the Middle and Late Imperial Eras Abstract After obtaining sovereignty, a new emperor of China often gathers the imperial collections of previous dynasties and uses them as evidence of the legitimacy of the new regime. Some emperors go further, commissioning the compilation projects of bibliographies of books and catalogues of artistic works in their imperial collections not only as inventories but also for proclaiming their imperial power. The imperial collections of art symbolize political and cultural predominance, present contemporary attitudes toward art and connoisseurship, and reflect emperors’ personal taste for art. The attempt of this research project is to explore the practice of art cataloguing during two of the most important reign periods in imperial China: Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (r. 1101-1125) and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (r. 1736-1795). Through examining the format and content of the selected painting, calligraphy, and bronze catalogues compiled by both emperors, features of each catalogue reveal the development of cataloguing imperial artistic collections. -

Chinese Architecture and Metaphor: Song Culture in the Yingzao Fashi
Feng Jiren Jiren Feng ,KTMENIE;.6OTJJ 63 Introduction Between the carpenter’s weight strings and marking lines [is something] close to government order and enlightenment (繩墨之 間鄰於政教). Li Hua, “Hanyuandian fu” 1 When the Tang (618–907) scholar Li Hua 李華 (715–766) composed his poetic essay dedicated to the Enfolding-Vitality Hall (Hanyuandian 含 元殿, built in 663), the most magnifi cent building in the imperial palace compound in Chang’an 長安 (modern Xi’an), he lent a special meaning to the construction of architecture. Th e hall was where the court handled state aff airs and held grand ceremonies. While eulogizing the virtues and deeds of Emperor Gaozong (高宗 628–683, r. 649–683), the patron of the hall, Li Hua emphasized the importance of the “grand scope and magnitude” (宏模廓度) and “majestic structure” (壯麗棟宇)2 for the imperial palaces because these concerned state policy and moral edifi cation. Using two fundamental carpenter’s tools, sheng 繩 (weight strings or plumb lines) and mo 墨 (ink-marking lines), to represent the process of the construction of buildings, he expressed a remarkable idea: that the activity of the carpenter was in some way parallel or relevant to ideals of government. Specifi cally, the craftsmen’s regulating process could be seen as embodying government order and virtue. ,KTMEJEOTZXUOTJJ 63 2 INTRODUCTION Th is notion refl ects, more generally, the way that ancient Chinese literati perceived architecture and the built environment. From early times, many Chinese writers sang the praises of the “imperial virtues” by describing the process of the construction and striking architectural features of the majestic buildings patronized by a king or an emperor, with the implication that the architecture itself proclaimed or symbolized the ruler’s wisdom and virtue. -

He is the author of monographs on medieval poetics (1995) and the history of Sinology (2001), and has published volumes on censorship (2003) and reading (2005). He is currently working on the reception of the Analects.] * * * Chinese graphs are traditionally defined by their xing 形 (form), yin 音 (sound) and yi 義 (meaning). In addition to its importance as a mnemonic guide for the learner, the practice of ‘dissecting graphs’ ( chaizi 拆 字), graph analysis or gly- phomancy (when used in predictions) is an important element of the ‘study of graphs’ ( zixue 字 學). 1 The analysis of graphs may serve as a paronomastic de- vice or as a divinatory technique; it can be based on a graph’s form or shape, its phonetic value, any of its semantic aspects, and combinations of these three as- pects. The first systematised attempt to analyse and to categorise graphs and their development was made by Xu Shen 許 慎 (c. 55 - c. 149). He laid the basis for the traditional understanding of the Chinese writing system in his postface ( xu 序) to the Shuowen jiezi 說 文 解 字 (Explorations on Complex Graphs and Explanations of Simple Graphs). -

Funerary Art
TENTH-CENTURY CHINA AND BEYOND FUNERARY ART Two Royal Tombs from the Early Liao: Architecture, Pictorial Program, Authorship, Subjectivity Wu Hung "In the absence of Qidan [Khitan] ~ft descriptions of themselves," Nancy Steinhardt writes in her path-breaking Liao Architecture, "Chinese writers of standard histories and other texts have become de facto anthropologists. "1 We have two main Chinese records of Qidan burial customs: a tenth-century reference in the Old History of the Tang (Jiu Tangshu ~®i·-n and an eyewitness account by the Southern Song author Wen Weijian x:'ItFJi. The former says that unlike the Chinese, who have always buried the dead in tombs and held elaborate mortuary rites, Qidan people escort the corpse to the high mountains and place it in a tree. Sons and grandsons do not mourn for their deceased parents and grandparents; instead, parents and grandparents cry from morning to night for a deceased male descendant. 2 Wen Weijian's account focuses more closely on the treatment of the corpse, describing in vivid language how Qidan people cut open the corpse of a noble person and stuff it with fragrant ingredients, how they prick the skin to drain bodily fluids, and finally how they adorn the face of the dry mummy with a gold or silver mask. 3 Widely cited in modem studies of Liao tombs, these historical accounts do accord with some archaeological finds, such as the frequent use of metal masks in aristocratic Qidan tombs. But these records also reveal the distinct mentality of their authors, who were mainly interested in the differences between the Qidan and the Chinese.
