Liang, a high-ranking eunuch official who sought to raise his social status from that of despised menial to educated elite, had privileged access to the emperor and palace. McNair's study, which is based on her translation and extensive analysis of the text of the Xuanhe Catalogue of Paintings, offers a definitive argument for the authorship of this major landmark in Chinese painting criticism and clarifies why and how it was compiled. The book describes the remarkable circumstances of the period around 1120, when the catalogue was written. The political struggles over the New Policies, the promotion of the "scholar amateur" ideal in painting criticism and practice, and the rise of eunuch court officials as a powerful class converged to allow those officials the unprecedented opportunity to enhance their prestige through scholarly activities and politics. McNair analyzes the catalogue's central polemical narrative-the humiliation of the high-ranking minister mistakenly called by the lowly title Painting Master-as the key to understanding Liang Shicheng's methods and motives."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $6 880-01 $a Liang, Shicheng, $d approximately 1063-1126. 880 14 $6 600-01/$1 $a ÃÌı̱ÂÌ, $d approximately 1063-1126. 630 00 $a Xuanhe hua pu $x Authorship. 650 0 $a Painting, Chinese $y Song-Yuan dynasties, 960-1368. 650 0 $a Eunuchs $z China $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a China $x Politics and government $y 960-1279. 650 7 $a Authorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822442 650 7 $a Eunuchs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916500 650 7 $a Painting, Chinese $x Song-Yuan dynasties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907130 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Harvard-Yenching Institute monograph series ; $v 139. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5F2A59256B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
