Document source description
Reverence for the past permeated many aspects of life in China through the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). This object expresses this reverence through conscious and meaningful adoption and adaptation of past traditions, a practice known as “archaism.” The Qing form of archaism was complex: it drew inspiration from both ancient vessels of the Bronze Age (ca. 1600–300 BCE), as well as from Song (960–1279) interpretations of these earlier objects. Therefore, at times, Qing archaism resulted in interpretations of even more ancient interpretations.
