Riassunto

Interest in scholars' stones, collected by Chinese literati and artists since the Tang dynasty, has exploded in the West over the last several years, with over a dozen major exhibits mounted in museums around the world. Yet there exists only a handful of titles in English on the subject, and important texts such as the Suyuan Stone Catalogue , China's most comprehensive illustrated book on the subject, have never been translated. Scholars' Rocks in Ancient China , with its illuminating anecdotes and well-rendered wood-block illustrations, is an invaluable reference book for the study of ancient Chinese scholars' stones. With its 188 illustrations, informative notes, character list, and bibliography, it is destined to greatly enrich the literature on stone collecting.

Wang. Kemin Hu is also the author of Spirit of Gogshi: Chinese Scholars' Rocks .
