What reading level is China Its History Arts And Literature volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Tang was astonished. He compared the new tripod with his own precious piece and could detect no difference. Even the stand and cover of his own tripod fitted that of Hao exactly. The pot- ter made no secret of the fact that his was only a modern imitation, and ended by selling it for sixty pieces of silver to Tang, who placed it in his collec- tion as a companion to the Sung tripod. A few years VOL. IX. I/ CHINA later, a brother virtuoso, who was paying a visit to Tang, saw the tripods and wa...s so enamoured of them that he dreamed of nothing else. Ultimately, after much entreaty, he persuaded Tang to part with Hao's tripod for a sum of fifteen hundred pieces of silver.
This anecdote is interesting, as showing not only the enormous value attaching to specimens of fine and rare porcelain three hundred years ago in China, but also the fact that the soft-paste white Ting-yao was successfully copied at the close of the sixteenth century. Indeed, although there is no direct evi- dence to that effect, the student may conclude with tolerable confidence that there was produced at Ching-te-chen throughout the greater part of the Ming dynasty a soft-paste porcelain resembling Sung Ting-yao almost to the point of absolute identity.
