Through an analysis of their patronage of architecture, calligraphy, painting and other art forms, and through a study of the contents of their splendid and recently excavated tombs, this innovative study puts the aristocracy back at the heart of accounts of China''s culture, from which they have been excluded until very recently. Screen of Kings challenges much of the received wisdom about Ming China.
