About the Exhibition
The social role of the arts in early Chinese and Japanese civilizations played significant roles in both early cultures in languages, religion and art.
Chinese and Japanese cultures are fundamentally different in languages, and the grammar.
China is one of the oldest civilizations having many dynasties. Artifacts of the early Chinese dynasties were found dating to the 1600 B.C.
In religion in the time of death Chinese people put sculptures in the graves. The Japanese put the sculptures on top of the graves. It is not known what the sculptures were meant to be used for, perhaps as the guardians, or to assist the deceased in the afterlife.
The Blackstone museum exhibition will bring to life the ways of the early Chinese and Japanese cultures in a way that will enlighten and educate both adults and children.
For a limited time, you can view 100 pieces in the exhibit. Amongst these treasures are Zhu Jan, an ink on silk portrait that depicts Seeking the Tao in the Autumn Mountains. The wall hanging is from the Northern Song dynasty, as well as Chinese writings, architectural replicas, and vases.

    Although most of the historical elements are locked in the vault, the museum still chose some charming ones and put them in the exhibition hall to attract people to realize how amazing Chinese culture is. The most popular pieces are Jadeite Cabbages. They are six pieces of a set and which were brought to the empire of Ching Dynasty about three hundred years ago. Each Jadeite Cabbage has different shape and affiliates, for example, some of them have insects on their leaves. Because they are so small, perhaps two or three inches, and very dedicate that you might need a magnifier to watch their details, people can understand what kind of handcraft the Chinese jade masters already had. Nowadays, the museum director understands that they could not…

    I wish I knew more about Asian Art because of the beautiful artwork I saw while walking through the museum. There were intricate designs painted on vases and the significance of these designs made me wonder about the Chinese culture. It was interesting to find out that in the Tang dynasty the deceased were buried with ceramics that were to recreate the status of the deceased in the afterlife. Before this trip to the museum, I only knew Egyptians were buried with artifacts with this type of…

Daoism started as just psychology and a philosophy but in 440 A.D. it evolved into a state religion in China. In time it would become one of the three great religions of China.…
