Chinese Painting: The Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty

The nearly four hundred years from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty was the period of the emergence of such famous works as Han Xizai's Night Banquet, River Trip, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, and Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. It was also a special and crucial stage in the history of Chinese painting.

At this stage, more and more painters broke away from the collective creation of temple and palace murals, and murals and scroll paintings formed a new interactive relationship. The emergence of the hanging shaft and the exploration of the form of the hand scroll have given birth to the far-reaching composition style and viewing mode; The increasingly refined branch of painting implies the further specialization of painting practice; The deep participation of central and local governments led to the administrative and institutional creation of painting, and then formed a comprehensive court painting system that had never appeared in Chinese history. The embryonic literati painting played an increasingly important role, and its aesthetic concept influenced the taste of the court and the style of religious painting, which finally opened the precedent for it to become the mainstream of Chinese painting.

This book is a new masterpiece by the famous art historian Wu Hong, continuing the writing idea of Chinese Painting: Ancient Times to Tang Dynasty, absorbing the recent research results of archaeological art, focusing on various types of painting works and media characteristics from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty, and trying to tell the new story of Chinese painting in multiple dimensions.

Ten Lectures by Wittgenstein

There is a saying: Read philosophy, who has not read Wittgenstein? The most important philosopher of the 20th century is hard for anyone who reads philosophy to avoid. And the average reader may have heard some golden words - "The boundary of language is the boundary of the world" - "What can be said clearly, can be said clearly; What cannot be said, remain silent. "Yes, they come from Wittgenstein.

Interesting, but brain-burning. Wittgenstein studied mathematics in his early years, and later, when he wrote philosophy, he also had a large number of formulas, which we can read with some difficulty.

Lou Wei, a professor at the School of Philosophy of Zhejiang University, studies Wittgenstein and the language of philosophy. He is the author of Wittgenstein's Commentary on Philosophical Studies, translated into Philosophical Studies, On Culture and Values, Blue Book and Brown Book. In this book, he explains clearly, so that we can understand Wittgenstein in many aspects, and solve the problem of Wittgenstein.

How to "get into the pit" Wittgenstein, Lou teacher wrote ten lessons.

Lab Life

To answer these questions, Bruno Latour, a prominent French sociologist of science, and Steve Woolgar, a British sociologist, went to a neuroendocrinology laboratory in the United States and spent two years with professors there, observing scientists, how they chose projects and applied for grants, how they conducted research and published papers, how they rated awards, and so on.

The author approaches science in a naturalistic way, particularly exploring the social constraints of science, touching on the larger issues of humanity, society, reason, and knowledge, and interpreting the construction of scientific facts from a new perspective.

The book is one of the classic studies of social anthropology, revealing to us how the distant, closed world relates to our daily lives, and providing new directions for our thinking about knowledge production.
