Excellent Illustrations,

This review is from: Auspicious Designs of China (Paperback)
This has a plethora if good quality black and white clip-art-style drawings, but is somewhat sparse on the information about them. It is not made clear where the illustrations came from and certainly many of them have appeared elsewhere before this book was published.
It is an interesting addition to anyone's China library, but only for the pics.

A Handbook to the Visual Cultural Details of Daily Life in China,

This review is from: Auspicious Designs of China (Paperback)
A traveler in China cannot help but be impressed by the high degree of detailed decoration of every public work and private building there. What is more amazing with a little bit of research is the discovery of the cultural significance of every design and detail. These are designs and details with thousands of years of history and significance. Auspicious Designs of China guides you on a journey to discovering the history and meaning associated with Auspicious Divinities, Auspicious Plants, Auspicious Animals, and Auspicious Things, Objects, and Chinese Characters. This book goes a long way toward demystifying your surroundings while visiting, working, or living in the People's Republic of China.
