Book excerpt: "This book is a history of a high point in Chinese culture, seen through the riches of its images and objects. Not a simple emperor-by-emperor history, Empire of Great Brightness instead introduces the reader to themes that provide points of entry into Ming China: to ideas of motion and rest, to the position occupied by writing and objects featuring writing, to ideas about pleasure, about violence and ageing. It challenges notions of Ming China as a culture closed off from the rest of the world by emphasizing the vibrant interactions between China and the rest of Asia at this period."--Jacket.
