About This Item
Hong Kong: Oxford University Press, 1991. Few visit Beijing without going to the Ming Tombs, the burial grounds of the Ming dynasty who ruled China from 1368 to 1644. This book gives a concise and up-to-date description of one of China's most important archaeological sites. It explains the beliefs underlying Chinese burial practices and the significant symbolism of the stone monuments lining the spirit road--the avenue leading to the first tomb in the valley - with its animals and stone officials in fifteenth-century court costume. 91 pp., 16 col. & 28 b&w illustrations, map.. First. Hard bound. Very Good/n/a. 22 x 15 cm..
