Tenth Century China and Beyond: Art and Visual Culture in a Multi-centered Age
Edited by Wu Hung
The tenth century was a period of extensive change in East Asia. Though historically regarded as a period declining into disorder between the great Tang and Song eras, it in fact saw art and culture flourish in regional contexts. Important new stylistic trends in painting, technologies of printing and ceramic making, and unprecedented features of construction of tombs and Buddhist and Daoist temples at regional centers of art emerged. At the same time, transregional interactions, exchanges, and rivalries were also contributing factors to the dynamism and richness of artistic production during this period.
