This is the first academic effort to trace the very beginning of the aesthetic consciousness of the Chinese nation back to prehistoric times. Its strength lies in the comprehensive and detailed examination of all the major prehistoric cultures and artifacts as well as in its insights into the relationship between prehistoric consciousness and the Chinese mind and culture.
