Description

Pantheon Books, 1975. — 128 с.This selection of Taoist magic diagrams, talismans and charms represents an aspect of Chinese art virtually unknown in the West. Art historians - have largely ignored them, concerning themselves primarily with problems of artistic technique rather than meaning, the question of "how" rather then "why". Yet Taoist calligraphy, as I shall be showing, has been of first importance in China since earliest times, both as an artistic carrier of spiritual truths, and as the means of communication with spirits.ISBN-10: 0394731255ISBN-13: 978-0394731254
