Art of Xi'an celebrated in new book and exhibition

From a pottery bowl painted with a human face-and-fish motif found at the Neolithic Banpo site, to the beautifully crafted silver and gold wares of the Hejiacun treasure trove of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Xi'an, Shaan'xi province, has long been a witness to the evolution and transitions in art, as well as a source of artistic inspiration and creativity.
