The Chinese often use the expression du hua, “to read a painting,” in connection with their study and appreciation of such works. This volume closely “reads” thirty-six masterpieces of Chinese painting from the encyclopedic collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to reveal the major characteristics and themes of this rich pictorial tradition. The book examines multiple layers of meaning—style, technique, symbolism, past traditions, and the artist’s personal circumstances—through accessible texts and numerous large color details. A dynastic chronology, map, and list of further readings supplement the text.
Spanning a thousand years of Chinese art, these landscapes, flowers, birds, figures, religious subjects, and calligraphies illuminate the main goal of every Chinese artist: to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but also its inner essence.

个人感觉，对绘画史有基本的了解后再来看图册是比较合适的。不要被名字欺骗了，没有任何基础来看这本书只会各种不明觉厉，进度也非常慢。绘画部分挺好，就是有些中翻英后的古诗又不给中文来源...找起来相当= =。。。不过图真的很高清！装帧，排版，设计都很好。

印刷质量极高，色彩真实，笔触甚至纸、绢质地都纤毫毕现。解说要而不烦，紧扣作品，往往有精彩独到处。

<How to Read Chinese Paintings>跟我想的不太一樣，以為先介紹一些基本觀看方法，沒想到基本全是用例子。覺得對於外行來說缺乏整體把握，不過勝在印刷也太精美了，好多細節圖簡直美得令人窒息。
