Books with a lot of pictures

I have been to a lot of museum with Chinese crafts made before Tang Dynasty. There are a lot of pictures in this book. Moreover, it described the culture background them. For example, Game of Go. It listed the related scultures. When it introduced Liubu(six sticks) it shows the stone table used for this game. It also includes the sculture that describes how people play with this game. I love picutres! I haven't seen so many of them in China. It is an impressive way for you to learn Chinese culture. I highly recommend it to you if you want to learn ancient Chinese history and Chinese culture.
