The Resonance of Qin in East Asian Art explores the rich cultural resonance of the qin (chin), a stringed instrument whose 2,000-year history in East Asia is traced in the almost 40 paintings, sculptures, drawings, woodblock prints, and domestic and scholar's objects inspired by its forms. This exhibition examines the qin's varying roles in East Asian cultures, and reveals how its unique aesthetic became associated with scholarly ideals and the pursuit of enlightenment.

New. 0965427021. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--143 pages; illustrated. Publisher description: "The Chinese qin, an ancient seven-stringed zither, was an integral part of literati culture in East Asia. Its mythic origins, the beauty and efficacy of its music, and the legendary heroism of its musicians are all part of the vast canon and lore that developed around the instrument over the course of two thousand years. The music of the qin was celebrated in poetry, and the instrument came to be de rigeur in depictions of solitary scholar-gentlemen at leisure in the landscape. Selected works of art, antique instruments, and four separate essays are brought together to explain the profound significance of the ancient qin and its music, and its spread from China to Japan, Korea, and Vietnam."--with a bonus offer--
