"This book is a collection of essays prepared originally for a conference on 'Theories of the Arts in China,' held in June 1979 under the auspices of the Committee on Studies of Chinese Civilization of the American Council of Learned Societies to encourage interest in Chinese aesthetics. The first work of its kind to be published in the field of Chinese studies, it offers a broad chronological scope and interdisciplinary content that underline the similarities that occur in writing on different art forms within the cultural framework of traditional China. The conference at which these papers were presented was the first sustained effort to bring together the studies of Chinese literary and art history. This volume provides the scholar with the results of the conference - many roads of access to fields of Chinese thought, literature and art." Publisher's description.
