作者自序（节选）：

本书标题中所使用的“艺术”概念在广泛的意义上包含了多种视觉形式、建筑环境以及有关艺术生产的写作。书中文章不限于特定的时段和地区；引领它们的是我的两个相互渗透的学术旨趣，即个案研究和阐释方法。我同意以章节形式再版这些文章，是因为它们提供了有关中国艺术史上某些章节的信息并反映出在历史阐释中实验新路的意图。对个案与方法论的双重关注也决定了文集的结构：第一卷中的文章反映出较强的反思艺术观念与范式的理论兴趣；第二卷聚焦于中国早期艺术史的个案，所涉时代从史前到汉代；第三卷则沿着几条线路讨论汉代之后的中国艺术，包括宗教艺术与建筑、跨区域艺术的交互影响和多种媒材的图像艺术。

About this Series

Consisting of three volumes, On Chinese Art features 56 essays (presented as chapters) written by the art historian Wu Hung after he moved to the United States in the 1980s. Selected by the author himself, these essays have been organized in a format that emphasizes both research methodology and case studies. Essays in Volume One share a strong theoretical aspiration to explore key concepts, visual technology, and spatial-temporal aspects in Chinese art. Volume Two focuses on cases and episodes in early Chinese art and visual culture, from prehistoric times to the Han dynasty. Volume Three pursues several key themes in Chinese art after the Han, including religious art and architecture, trans-regional artistic interaction, and pictorial art in various mediums. Originally scattered in various publications, these essays, including several translated for this series, are now grouped together for the first time. With a consistent goal of expanding research methods and interpretative perspectives, they reflect the author’s scholarly pursuit over three decades and continue to provide inspiration on broad topics in art history.

Volume Ⅰ:

This volume contains 17 essays and a coda that share a theoretical aspiration to explore key concepts, visual technology, and spatial-temporal aspects in Chinese art. The essays are grouped into three sections, entitled "Subject, Object, Context," "Medium, Representation, Materiality," and" Time, Space, Culture." Using a wide range of examples such as the painted screen, funerary figurines, ink rubbings, bronze vessels, jade carvings, and many others, they examine how representations of the human body and face conflict and complement each other, how an architectural device also serves as a painting medium, how the different languages of picture and diagram are employed in rendering a single subject, and how time and space is related in designing and operating ancient Chinese cities. The coda frames these discussions with a comparative approach inherent to art historical investigations in today’s global environment.
