Descrizione del venditore
Publisher unknown. Beijing, 1959.
Folio.044 pages. Black-and-white and color plates (many tipped-in). Blind-stamped decorated
cloth in plain cardboard box.
Edited by the China editorial committee, this “super book” was created in an effort to present a
grand survey of Chinese history and culture, bringing together almost 550 images, including 27
photographs of ancient Chinese artifacts. This book comes in three parts, the main one showcasing
the achievements of the first decade of the PRC, and the other two dedicated to fine arts and historical
artifacts. It is particularly interesting for its combination of politics and art objects that harks back
to the old concept of the ‘mandate of heaven’ where ancient cultural relics bestowed legitimacy to
those who ruled the country.
Planning for the book started in early 1958 involving the Ministry of Culture as well as Xinhua
News Agency. It was meant to showcase the high-points and achievements of the first ten years
under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party.
