OT010022 Picturing the True From:Daoist Visual Culture in Traditional China(H) Shih-Shan Suan Huang(黃士珊)／Harvard University Asia Center／2012／20x25／英／526P／彩色黑白插圖284幅／9780674065734 This book's structure mirrors the two-part Daoist journey from inner to outer. Part I focuses on inner images associated with meditation and visualization practices for self-cultivation and longevity, while Part II investigates the visual and material dimensions of Daoist ritual. Interwoven through these discussions is the idea that the inner and outer mirror each other, and the boundary demarcating the two is fluent. Huang also reveals three central modes of Daoist symbolism--aniconic, immaterial, and ephemeral--and shows how Daoist image-making goes beyond the traditional dichotomy of text and image to incorporate writings in image design. It is these particular features that distinguish Daoist visual culture from its Buddhist counterpart. NT$ 3,150
