"Published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum and drawing on the latest research, this magnificent book explores the extraordinary history of early Ming China: the fabulous imperial courts, the military and cultural achievements, the complex belief systems, and diplomatic and trading missions. Over 2500 objects from museums across China and the rest of the world are illustrated here, including spectacular recent archaeological discoveries and some of the most beautiful works of art ever made"--Cover
