Beautiful Meditations

A Meditation on Beauty is a classic work by the renowned Taiwanese aesthetician Chiang Hsun, hailed as the "Taiwanese version of The Journey of Beauty." Since its first publication in Taiwan in 1986, it has undergone several reprints. Now, in response to popular demand, a brand new revised color collector's edition has been introduced to mainland China, featuring additional images, a chronology, and an index to offer readers a more delightful visual experience and a more enjoyable exploration of beauty!

Jade, pottery, bronze, bamboo slips, silk paintings, stone carvings, Dunhuang murals, landscape paintings... Within these artworks, each layered with "beauty," Chiang Hsun began to contemplate the meaning of their forms. Through successive journeys back in time, stripping away the dross of history, Chiang Hsun discerned the true spatiotemporal value they revealed and the historical significance they carried.
