Innovation can be seen in material culture (including print, painting, calligraphy, textiles, jewelry, ceramics, lacquer, arms and armor, and photography) during a century in which China's art, literature, crafts, and technology faced unprecedented exposure to global influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil recently the nineteenth century in China has been defined as an era of cultural stagnation. Built on new research, this book sets out a fresh understanding of this important period and creates a detailed visual account of responses to war, technology, urbanization, political transformations, and external influences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe narratives are brought to life and individualized through illustrated biographical accounts that highlight the diversity of voices and experiences contributing to this fascinating, turbulent period in Chinese history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibition dates: British Museum, May-October 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Harrison-Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295751851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295751856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 10.40w x 2.10d","brand":"Jessica Harrison-Hall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079160131839,"sku":"9780295751856","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6436a54b-b821-4fcb-9edb-7d9eedc8dae2.jpg?v=1685479640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinas-hidden-century-jessica-harrison-hall-9780295751856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
