Anotace knihy

How can a collection of only four pieces be§beneficial to an entire field of scholarship? Would§anyone disagree that more information about a subject§is a good thing? However, information about the§individuals who inhabited a specific society is just§as important as generalized information about a§culture as a whole. Insight into the life of the§individual allows us to see ourselves. Fellowship can§be achieved between people separated by time and space.§§Consisting of a li-ding, a gu, a jue, and a hu, the§four vessels reveal social status, personality, and§perhaps in two cases, even a name. They are treated§separately in order to give each work of art the§attention it deserves. They are described and§analyzed according to form and detail. And an attempt§was made to interpret the inscriptions on two of the§vessels.§§"The Buffalo Collection" does not house examples on§the level of those buried with Fu Hao, nor are these§the terra-cotta vessels of the lower-classes. Created§during the the Anyang Period, these bronze ritual§vessels belonged to the middle- and upper-middle§classes, who silently and loyally made the§bureaucracy function day after day.
