内容简介

Qing China (1644–1912) witnessed a resurgence in architectural painting, a traditional subject category known as jiehua, or boundary painting. Drawing Boundaries concerns itself with the symbolic implications of this impressive and little studied reflorescence. Beginning with a concise and well-illustrated history of the evolution of the tradition, this exciting new study reveals how these images were deployed in the Manchu (Qing) imperial court to define political, social, or cultural boundaries. Characterized by grand conception and regal splendor, the paintings served to enhance the imperial authority of rulers and, to a segment of the elite, to advertise social status. Drawing Boundaries thus speaks to both issues of painting and architectural style and the discourse of powerful cultural forms. In addition to the analysis of how the style of image construction suggests these political and social motivations, the book identifies another aspect of traditional architectural representation unique to the Qing: the use of architectural representation to render form and space. Anita Chung makes the fascinating observation that these renderings create an overwhelming sense of "being there," a characteristic, she argues, that underscores the Qing concern for the substance of things–a sensibility toward the physical world characteristic of the period and emblematic of a new worldview.

Handsomely illustrated, Drawing Boundaries is the first full-length study of an important tradition of premodern Chinese art and architecture. It presents a thoroughly researched examination of Qing architectural painting (including a number of translations of little-known texts) as well as a means of placing these works, frequently dismissed as merely gorgeous renderings, into a cultural context. Here is a major contribution to the field of Chinese art and architectural history and a welcome avenue of understanding for historians of Chinese society and politics and those with an interest in material culture.

感恩圖板,在裡面找到一幅和Penn museum attribute to 袁江互為鏡像的作品。

对唐至清代中相同的建筑图式作了对比研究。清代部分分清宫内外不同赞助人讨论,皇家绘画较宫外的西方,两种题材选择有重合,但绘画的含义与追求差异较大。
