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. This book benefits graduate students and researchers who are interested in Chinese prehistoric culture and Chinese history of aesthetics. 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aPhilosophy, Chinese 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aChinese Philosophy 606 $aAsian Culture 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Chinese. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aAesthetics. 615 24$aChinese Philosophy. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 676 $a111.85 700 $aChen$b Wangheng$01836624 701 $aZhang$b Guoqing$01280017 701 $aChen$b Yiping$01836625 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018744703321 996 $aStudy of Prehistoric Aesthetic Consciousness of the Chinese Nation$94414820 997 $aUNINA
