520 1 $a"Shelagh Vainker traces the cultural history of silk in China from its Neolithic origins to the twentieth century, considering its role in Chinese history, trade, religion and literature as well as its relationship to the other decorative arts. Drawing upon the most recent archaeological evidence from less perishable media such as jades, bronzes and ceramics along with paintings, poems and other texts, she brings together a wide range of material including some sources available until now only in Chinese. Recent acquisitions by public and private collections in the United States, Hong Kong and Europe are also included. The result is a book that illuminates the luxury of silk throughout the ages."--BOOK JACKET.
