What is The Ming Tombs (Images of Asia) about?
<p>Few visit Beijing without going to the Ming Tombs, the burial grounds of the Ming dynasty who ruled China from 1368 to 1644. This book gives a concise and up-to-date description of one of China's most important archaeological sites. It explains the beliefs underlying Chinese burial practices and the significant symbolism of the stone monuments lining the spirit road-the avenue leading to the first tomb in the valley-with its animals and stone officials in fifteenth-century court costume.</p>
