Decoded Messages: The Symbolic Language of Chinese Animal Painting
Hou-Mei Sung
From the very early yin/yang cosmology to later developments of Daoist and Confucian philosophies and ethics, Chinese animals gained new meanings related to their historical contexts. This book explores these new findings, using the colourful animal images and their evolving symbolic meanings to gain insight into aspects of Chinese art.
