ISBN10: 0674007824, ISBN13: 9780674007826, [publisher: Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass] Softcover Paperback. Throughout the history of imperial China, the educated elite used various means to criticize government policies and actions. During the Song dynasty (960-1278), some members of this elite found an elegant and subtle means of dissent: landscape painting. By examining literary archetypes, the titles of paintings, contemporary inscriptions, and the historical context, Alfreda Murck shows that certain paintings expressed strong political opinions—some transparent, others deliberately concealed. She argues that the coding of messages in seemingly innocuous paintings was an important factor in the growing respect for painting among the educated elite and that the capacity of painting's systems of reference to allow scholars to express dissent with impunity contributed to the art's vitality and longevity. Throughout the history of imperial China, the educational elite used various means to criticize government policies and actions. By examining literary archetypes, titles of paintings, inscriptions and the historical context, this text shows that paintings expressed strong political opinions.
