I confess that China has always been to me, a far, distant, different, imperial country. A country whose narratives arouse austere, complex, incomprehensible images, always in the balance between history, myth and legend: Big Yu, Jade Emperor, Shen Yi, Pangu, Nüwa, Confucius, Mao Tse Tung, Marco Polo, the Silk Road, the great dynasties, the legendary red army, the great People’s Republic of China, the magnificence of its great monuments, the Great Wall, the exact shape of the city of Beijing, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Ming tombs, the fortifications, the towers of Xi’an, the tulou, the rural settlements, the zhuangzhai.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
