Links
esearching for this site we found a lot more than really belongs
on those pages. For those interested in learning more than can be
found here, this page gives links on Chinese art and culture which we
think are good.
Lacquer, Art, and Culture in General
- China page is a
large bilingual site with lots of information and links on art,
history, current events, language, medicine, and more.
- An outline of Chinese
history at yutopian.com, which also has links to other areas of
Chinese culture
- ACF.com has
lots of information about furniture and decorations from China,
including a really good blog and decorative items.

articles on Chinese culture, and
lacquer and
lacquerware in particular.

lacquer

are listed here.
- Another really good site for general knowledge on art and culture is

arts page and lacquer page have lots of photos, and
are cross-referenced with their extensive pages on
literature,
history,
religion,
music,
