Features: "A Dictionary of Cultural Relics with Illustrations" is a novel tool book in both nature and form. It is neither an illustrated catalog of cultural relics nor a dictionary with annotations, but rather uses illustration methods to provide readers with basic knowledge of collecting, identifying, and researching ancient Chinese cultural relics. This book emphasizes both text and images, with illustrations guiding the text, aiming to interpret each type of cultural relic in an image-based and concise manner. Through numerous illustrations, the book imparts a wealth of knowledge about cultural relics. The book covers ten major categories of cultural relics, including ceramics, porcelain, jade, gold and silver wares, bronze wares, lacquered and wooden wares, coins, furniture, vehicles and chariots, and weapons. It is a tool book for collectors and also a reference for archaeologists and cultural relic enthusiasts.
