Book Description

I am happy when... I meet a person in the book whose idea is exactly the same as mine.... I meet a person who likes my favorite books.... I see my old friend in my dream.... I meet a warm-hearted person.... I share sweets with people next to me in a bus or in a subway.... I wrap a gift for someone.... I get an expected gift from someone.... I get a postcard from my friend abroad.... I drive my parents to look around my favorite places.... I have a hot tea while I bask in the sunshine on a cold winter day.... I have a glass of cold water on a hot summer day.... I look at my children's messy room.... I find my children's socks hidden under their desks.... My house is crowded with my children.... My children imitate the good I did.... I spend a day walking around in my living room just looking at flowers in the vase, holding a cup of coffee in my hand without doing anything.... I get a book that I have wanted to buy.... I browse in the book shop in a foreign country.... I read Leo Tolstoy's "what men live by "before going to bed.... I find an old dry leaf between the pages of my worn-out book.... I flip through my old diary.... I see the sentences in my old book which were underlined with red pen.... My husband is kind to elders.... I look at my husband's sleeping face in bed.... I stroke my husband's grey hair I take a walk with my husband holding his hand in the evening.... I look at my husband's pillow and mine which are lying side by side on the bed.... I stroll around in the forest on a rainy day.... I walk along a clean river.... I look at pale green buds, popping out of the ground in the early spring.... I look at crystalline pure water drops sitting on the gossamer.... I go to a temple after a heavy rain.... I look at the rainy scenery through the windowpane in a train.... I look at the blue sky lying on the grass....

Book Description

With its lush and diverse landscapes, ancient ruins, and stunning architecture, China is a photographer’s dream. Exploring this visually rich and evocative country, Photography and China highlights Chinese photographers and subjects from the inception of photography to the present day. Drawing on works in museums, and archival and private collections across China, the United States, Europe, and Australia, Claire Roberts locates images from commercial, art, and documentary photography within the broader context of Chinese history. She focuses on the images as well as the studios and individuals who created them, describing the long tradition of Chinese artistic culture into which photography was first absorbed and subsequently expanded. As she recounts the stories of practitioners—from China and overseas—who were agents in that process of change, she also examines the commercial, political, and artistic purposes for which they used photography. Featuring one hundred striking, little-known images, Photography and China will make a significant contribution to photography, Chinese art, and twentieth-century history.

Book Description

China's Encounters on the South and Southwest. Reforging the Fiery Frontier Over Two Millennia discusses the mountainous territory between lowland China and Southeast Asia, what we term the Dong world, and varied encounters by China with this world's many elements. The essays describe such encounters over the past two millennia and note various asymmetric relations that have resulted therefrom. Local populations, indigenous chiefs, state officials, and rulers have all acted to shape this frontier, especially after the Mongol incursions of the thirteenth century drastically shifted it. This process has moved from the alliances of the Dong world to the indirect rule of the Tusi (native official) age to the Qing and recent Gaitu Guiliu efforts at direct rule by the state, placing regular officials in charge there. The essays detail the complexities of this frontier through time, space, and personality, particularly in those instances, as today on land and sea, when China elects to pursue an aggressive policy in this direction. Contributors include: Brantly Womack, Kenneth MacLean, Amy Holmes-Tagchungdarpa, Bradley Davis, Jaymin Kim, Alexander Ong, Joseph Dennis, Sun Laichen, John K. Whitmore, Kathlene Baldanza, Kenneth M. Swope, Michael Brose, James A. Anderson, Liam Kelley, and Catherine Churchman.
