From random discoveries over the centuries, from legends and written records that seem scarcely removed from the realm of legend, and from a few limited excavations, the Bronze Age in China has long been thought to be one of the great epochs in the history of art. Now, thanks to astonishing recent finds by Chinese archaeologists, those legendary glories have become reality. The evidence is here, in this book and in the unprecedented exhibition on which it is based-105 precious objects in bronze, jade, and terracotta, chosen by the People's Republic of China from among the finest and most spectacular discoveries of recent years, and now seen for the first time outside their land of origin. Beginning with the shadowy Xia dynasty (which traditional chronology dates from 2205 to 1760 B.C.), coming into full flower in the Shang (now dated from about 1700 to about 1030 B.C.) and the Zhou (about 1030. to 256 B.C.), and lingering on through the Qin (221 to 206 B.C.) and into the Han that followed, the Chinese Bronze Age saw the development of the Chinese state, of writing and religious rituals, of architectural styles and urban culture. It also and pre- eminently-saw the rise and refinement of bronze metallurgy, and the works of art that were its highest expression. No other people on earth has ever created such bronzes. The group shown and discussed here-ritual vessels, weapons, bronze standards, even a complete set of fourteen exquisite bells- may be the most impressive ever assembled, and includes discoveries so recent that they are virtually unknown even to scholars. Here are jars and cups in the shapes of rhinos and elephants and bulls and rams, surfaces inlaid with jade and malachite and precious metals, weapons echoing with the clangor of ancient wars. Here, too, is a splendid array of carved jade pieces-ceremonial blades and tablets, figurines, jewelry. And there is more. Possibly the most stunning archaeological find of the twentieth century occurred in 1974, when excavation began in the huge mausoleum of Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor of Qin, who died in 210 B.C. after unifying China for the first time in history. Diggers came upon an entire army-no less than seven thousand life-size terracotta figures of soldiers, cavalrymen, and horses, with chariots and other battle gear, still standing, rank after rank, as they had been buried as a guard for their dead emperor more than two thousand years before. Individually modeled with great sensitivity and realism, they evoke their lost world with almost painful immediacy. Eight of them-six men and two horses- are included here, the first to be placed on exhibit anywhere outside China.
