Description: The Mingqi Pottery Buildings of Han Dynasty China: 206 BC-Ad 220 by Qinghua Guo Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An enormous number of burial objects have been unearthed from ancient tombs in archaeological excavations in China. These mingqi were made in all kinds of materials and in a broad range of forms, techniques, and craftsmanship. In this book, author Quinghua Guo examines a particular type of mingqi - pottery buildings. The striking realism of the pottery buildings suggests that they were modeled after actual buildings. They bring to life courtyard houses, manors, towers, granaries, and pigsty-privies, as well as cooking ranges and well pavilions. These pottery buildings, previously little known, preserve knowledge of antiquity and demonstrate the architectural quality and structural variety of the period. The book identifies the typology of the pottery buildings in terms of ontology and semiology, in order to provide a conceptual map for classification. Additionally, it identifies building systems reflected by the mingqi to detect architectonic systems of the Han dynasty.
