Twilight of the Dao: China's Culture on the Threshold of a New Era
In this book, the renowned sinologist V.V. Malyavin offers an original perspective not only on China's traditional culture but also on Chinese history. The author discusses the artistic culture, worldview, and daily life of China in the 17th century —... a century when art and the entire way of life received their most complete and refined expression, while at the same time, the decline of traditional Chinese culture began. Through examples of various art forms — painting, calligraphy, architecture, theater, sculpture — the book reveals the common foundation of the artistic canon, tracing how culture, nature, and humanity relate in Chinese tradition, and elaborates on the symbolism of culture.
