A compelling and lavishly illustrated volume, 'Dreams of Spring' delves into the rich and often misunderstood world of Chinese erotic art. This eminent part of ancient China's cultural heritage, flourishing since pre-Imperial times and peaking during the late-Ming period, is presented not in a crude or pornographic way, but as a profound search for beauty and harmony, imbued with symbolic detail. This book features a stunning collection of reproductions from one of the world's most important collections of Chinese erotic art. The accompanying text and meticulous descriptions were compiled over many years of scholarly research by Rev. Yimen, a principal authority in this field and a scholar of Chinese history and literature. The volume offers both stimulation and significant aesthetic pleasure, providing unique insights into China's spiritual traditions. This hardcover copy is in Good condition, though it is lacking its original dust jacket. Its substantial Quarto size (approx. 30.5 x 23.5 cm) makes it an impressive addition to any collection.
