This book analyzes the genre's imagery and poems in their historical context, and explains how the paintings contributed to distinctively cosmopolitan Qing imagery that also drew upon European visual styles. Roslyn Lee Hammers argues that the technologically-informed imagery were not merely didactic imagery to teach viewers how to grow rice or produce silk. The Qing emperors invested in paintings of labor to substantiate the permanence of the dynasty and to promote the wellbeing of the people under Manchu governance. The book includes English translations of the poems of the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving as well as other documents that have not been brought together in translation. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Chinese history, Chinese studies, history of science and technology, book history, labor history, and Qing history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: The Ennobling Agrarian Work of the Qing Emperors -- The Kangxi Emperor Reworks the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving -- The Noble Labors of the Yongzheng Emperor -- The Preoccupation of the Qianlong Emperor -- The Sagacious Vocation of the Qianlong Emperor -- Epilogue: Working Toward Closure, the Jiaqing Emperor Reforms Imperial Labor -- Appendix A: Imperially composed poems for the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving -- Appendix B: Primary documents related to the Pictures of Tilling and Weaving and agrarian labor. 651 0 $a China $x Art patronage. $x Art patronage. 650 0 $a Painting $x History $z China $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Genre painting, Chinese $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Symbolism in art. 650 7 $a Genre painting, Chinese $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940244 650 7 $a Kings and rulers $x Art patronage $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353489 650 7 $a Painting $x Political aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050604 650 7 $a Symbolism in art $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140771 651 7 $a China $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hammers, Roslyn Lee. $t Imperial patronage of labor genre paintings in eighteenth-century China $d New York : Routledge, 2021 $z 9780429320620 $w (DLC) 2020039868 830 0 $a Routledge research in art history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB4DCB70CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
