- catalog abstract ""This illustrated book brings together some of China's most priceless national treasures, the magnificent legacy of Qianlong's lifestyle, connoisseurship, and patronage, which gathered calligraphy and paintings, ceramics and bronzes, bamboo and jade carving, lacquerwork and enamelwork within its scope.
