Description of Picturing Heaven in Early China
Tian, or Heaven, had been used in China since the Western Zhou to indicate both the sky and the highest god. Examining excavated materials, Lillian Tseng shows how Han-dynasty artisans transformed various notions of Heaven-as the mandate, the fantasy, and the sky-into pictorial entities, not by what they looked at, but by what they looked into.
