While bronze lamps are generally acknowledged as grave goods, Guolong Lai returns to the classic texts to explore their function in funerary ritual. As new archaeological finds and the liberation of academic exchange make sites and information in China more accessible, many museums in the West are 'rediscovering' their Chinese collections. In view of this, Jan Stuart and Chang Qing have recontextualized the Freer Gallery's Chinese Buddhist sculptures for an exhibition at the gallery which begins on 16 April. Wu Hung goes back to basics and examines how Laozi was represented before anthropomorphic images of the deity were in popular use. Seizo Hayashiya and Rob Linrothe look at how contemporary artists are bringing new life to the ancient practices of tea ceremony and thangka painting while keeping true to the ideals of tradition. In his report on the National Palace Museum's symposium on Mongol art and culture, Jeffrey Moser explains how the field may be gradually experiencing a paradigm shift as scholars bring fresh insights.
