China has an ancient civilization with a very long history. Understanding its olely through the study of documents is clearly inadequate. A wealth of objects and remains has been preserved on China's vast territory and underground; much of which has been collected and is exhibited in various kinds of museums. This raw material of history can, in a certain sense, be considered more valuable for our understanding of the past of China than documents and historical records. Among the sixty-one museums selected for this book, many have been designated as key protected cultural sites by China. Some have been included in the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage Sites. We hope that this volume can serve visitors as a guide to understanding these museums.

The Chinese do not see wine as one of the necessities of life, but in theirsocial life the culture of wine as a distinct cultural form has made andcontinues to make an impact on the way the Chinese live. Chinese alcoholicdrinks are chiefly made from grain. Throughout the long history of China, withits large population and long-term reliance on agriculture, the ups and downsof the wine trade have been closely bound up with political, economic andsocial conditions. The fluctuations in the grain harvest were like a barometerfor the ups and downs of the wine business. The successive ruling dynastiesissued or relaxed restrictions on wine production according to the grainharvests to make sure that people had enough to live on.
Chinese literature, spanning over three thousand years, has well shaped the splendid and profound cultural identity of the Chinese people. Chinese literature is of immediate practical use from its source. It concerns human relationships and everyday life as well as political education. Moreover, it is closely related with the spiritual life of the people. The Chinese people strive for the harmony of man:with nature, firmly believing that the foundation of human relationships and everyday life is in communion with the heavenly principles. What the geniuses in the field of literature aspire to know and concern themselves with are the whole universe, history, and the bitter sorrow of the common people. All these are the great splendors in the tradition of Chinese literature.

Chinese sculptural arts have gradually developed their own style over time and managed to display aesthetic features and cultural concepts unique to ancient China. The development of Chinese sculpture parallels the history of the ancient Chinese culture and aesthetics. It is a visible witness to the cultural fusion and exchanges between the Hans and other ethic groups as well as between the Chinese and foreign cultures.
Traditional Chinese painting was fundamentally an abstract art form.Although there were no absolute abstract Chinese paintings in its original meaning, objects in a painting were not a direct copy of the nature world following the principle of perspective. It was rather a combination or harmony between the nature world and human emotion, a product of "heaven (nature) and human". The effect Chinese painters would like to illustrate in their paintings was not a visual effect of colors and patterns as their Western counterparts would like to achieve. The de*ion of objects in their paintings was no means accurate and few concerned about such factors as colors, principle of perspective, anatomy, surface feel, and relative size. What they would like to achieve was a world in their mind of non materials. The nature world was not an object for them to make a true copy and it was rather elements for them to build their own world.

《中国服饰（西班牙文版）》的思想亮点：强调了服饰是服与饰的双意，是服装与装饰的总称。服与饰从它们产生之日起，就有着相对的分工：这就是包裹人体的服装，比较侧重于对人体的保护；而装饰人体的头饰、文身、化妆、色彩、佩饰品、图案纹样、材质机理等，则偏重于人的精神需求的满足。我们的原始先民不仅创造了遮护身体、抵御外界伤害的“第二层皮肤”——服装，还创造了各种佩戴于人体的饰品和头上加饰、体上加饰、衣上加饰的人体装饰模式。指出，人类服饰发展至今虽然经历了十几万年的历史变迁，服饰的制作工艺虽然日新月异、花样翻新，然而，服装遮护身体的基本保健功能和头上加饰、体上加饰、衣上加饰的人体装饰模式始终没有变。
