| book description |

As one of the few monographs available on the history of Chinese tomb murals, this book offers a comprehensive study.   Theoretically, the authors put forward rebirth belief and state explicitly that Chinese tomb murals gain their theoretical support from rebirth belief, which belongs to the Confucianism system. In terms of historical resources, they compile the first chronology of Chinese tomb murals including stone and brick reliefs, offer an area index for tomb murals, and conduct in-depth and systematic discussions on Chinese tomb murals. Furthermore, Chinese tomb murals are studied from an aesthetic perspective to highlight the unique value of Chinese tomb art for both Eastern and Western art history.    The rich archaeological materials covered here are carefully scrutinized, the arguments eloquently presented, and the style used makes for accessible and enjoyable reading.
