Between Heaven and Earth

by Paul Moss

The history and evolution of Chinese writing is inseparable from the lives and legacies of China's emperors. In Between Heaven and Earth, master calligrapher Shi Bo explains the seven major stages of writing in China from as early as the seventeenth century B.C.E. including: Jiaguwen, Lishu, Caoshu, and Xingshu. Shi Bo puts each stage in historical context with informative text and abundant original and archival illustrations.
