Wen Yu

SELECTED ANCIENT BRONZE DRUMS FOUND IN CHINA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA

Author Wen Yu offers his insights on 36 ancient bronze drums of the Dong Son and later types, most of which were found in southwest China where many non-Han minorities lived. Written from an Easterner's perspective, the author challenges many earlier Western scholars' views. The book contains 64 illustrations, most of which are rubbings. (Beijing 1954)
