Includes bibliographical references (p. 441-473) and index. Early song precedents -- Strains in emperor-literati relations during the reform era -- Collecting as a scholarly passion during the Northern Song period -- Huizong as a collector -- Managing the collections at the palace library -- Collecting and cataloguing antiquities -- Collecting and cataloguing calligraphy -- Collecting and cataloguing paintings -- The fate of Huizong's collections. This is an illustrated examination of a collection of Chinese calligraphy, paintings, bronzes, and many other objects amassed by the Song dynasty emperor Huizong (1082-1135). It contributes to a rethinking of the cultural side of Chinese imperial rule and of the court as a patron of scholars and the arts. |
