註釋"While today's China is on a headlong rush into the future, China in a Mirror takes us on a voyage through the centuries, giving new insights into the country's ancestral civilization and timeless beauty." "Terraced landscapes and mist-shrouded mountaintops, flora and fauna, as well as wrinkled faces and innocent young smiles are captured by the photographer's camera and juxtaposed with ancient artworks, some of which date back over twelve centuries. Nine chapters of nine mirrors - the magic square of nine by nine being highly symbolic in Chinese culture - offer striking comparison between the land, faces, customs and lifestyle of China and its people, past and present." "Extracts from ancient Chinese literature and philosophy, as well as flourishes of calligraphy further evoke the extraordinary continuity of China's heritage, making this a unique keepsake volume."--BOOK JACKET.
