简介：
元帝国（1271–1368）时期，蒙古统治者建立了一个横跨欧亚大陆的多元文化体系，促进了贸易、技术与艺术交流的发展。然而，蒙古自身的视觉文化长期以来未受到充分重视。本书以元代织物图像与织造艺术为核心，重新审视蒙古艺术在中国及东亚艺术史中的重要地位。

作者 Yong Cho 通过对元代织锦、织毯及纺织图像的研究，探讨蒙古宫廷如何推动这一艺术形式的发展，并将其转化为具有政治、宗教与权力象征意义的视觉媒介。书中特别以现存最重要的元代织造作品之一——金刚怖畏曼荼罗（Vajrabhairava mandala）为研究重点，分析蒙古宫廷艺术中的赞助体系、宗教仪式功能、艺术等级变化以及跨欧亚技术交流。

本书突破传统将蒙古艺术视为中国艺术史边缘部分的观点，强调蒙古统治者在艺术创新和视觉文化建构中的主动作用。通过丰富的图版与深入的学术研究，本书重新定义了元代艺术的发展模式，是研究元代宫廷艺术、佛教艺术、纺织艺术以及中国与欧亚艺术交流的重要著作。

The Yuan Empire (1271–1368), ruled by the Mongols under figures such as Qubilai Khan, was characterized by extensive cross-cultural exchange, technological innovation, and artistic transformation across Eurasia. Yet Mongol visual culture has often been overlooked in discussions of Chinese and East Asian art history. The Woven Image: The Making of Mongol Art in the Yuan Empire offers a groundbreaking reassessment of woven images and textiles as central expressions of Mongol artistic identity.

Yong Cho examines Yuan-period tapestries and fabric images to demonstrate how Mongol rulers actively shaped new forms of artistic production and visual knowledge. Focusing on the Vajrabhairava mandala, the best-preserved example of a Yuan woven image, the book explores court patronage, ritual functions, changing artistic hierarchies, and the movement of artists and techniques across Eurasia.

Through detailed analysis and richly illustrated materials, this volume reveals how woven artworks became powerful objects of political authority and sacred significance within the Mongol court. It provides a new understanding of Yuan art and highlights the lasting influence of Mongol visual culture on Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions.
