Description

Explore the religious, political, and social significance of the Tang Dynasty through this landmark study. Imperial Tombs in Tang China, 618-907: The Politics of Paradise examines how these elaborate structures reflected the views of one of the world's most sophisticated civilizations. This book traces the development of imperial tombs to look at fundamental questions regarding death and the afterlife. By studying selected tombs, readers can understand their specific structures and artistic programs. The text places these monuments within the broader context of Chinese attitudes toward the afterlife and the political role of mausoleums.
