Abstract

The series of A Cultural History of Imagery in China (100 vols.) does not treat images as a point of departure just for language, or the relationship between images and language. Rather, the editors focus on the descriptions, analyses, and interpretations of images in order to decode the formal aspects of “meanings” and the signification of “images in China” by analyzing their construction The series stresses “culture” in the broadest sense to reconsider the value of images from the angle of civilizations.
