"China has a long history and very ancient civilization. In recent years, a great deal of work has been done to uncover and catalog treasures from the past. The items that appear in the pages of this book were originally part of an exhibition of Historical Art Objects held at the Palace Museum in Peking. The discoveries date from 2,000 years B.C. to the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century. Among the finds are many unique and beautiful artifacts that illuminate the political, economic, cultural and militaty aspects of different dynasties in Chinese history and the trade between China and other countries along the Silk Road. These historical objects - unearthedfrom sites in Hopei, Hunan, Shensi, Hupeh, Honan, Anwhei, Shantung and Shansi Provinces, the Sinkiang Uighur Autonomous Region and Peking - present a varied selection from China's archaeological excavations since 1965."
