晚明是由士大夫引導流行時尚，而清代是北京的宮廷領導流行！
透過朝貢和貿易等途徑，大量異域文明的物質成果進入中國宮廷視野，
當清宮收藏的舶來品亦通行於北京城市，宮廷的品味甚至影響到北京市民，
在在證明乾隆不只是戰功赫赫的十全老人，更是十八世紀兼容中西時尚唯一頂流！

本書便是針對各種中西物資的清宮寶藏進入京城，再由皇帝訂立禮器規範、工匠成做器物，再流傳北京及全國各地的過程及其造成的貿易行為進行探討。

充滿開放和探索精神的清廷正是利用全球化貿易和朝貢體系，從日本、歐洲、蒙古和西藏等地引進大量異域材料、產品、工藝技術以及工匠，從而雄心勃勃地打造出十八世紀的滿洲式宮廷時尚，並風行於整個帝國。

本書作者為中研院近代史研究所賴惠敏教授，以清代商貿史為研究專長的賴教授把研究重點放在引領時尚的幕後，特別利用內務府檔案及其他文獻資料，經過綿密的統計和分析，呈現出清代皇室的「數字化管理」之思維和能力，輔以故宮典藏文物圖為對照，分章闡述各類清宮寶藏與工藝技術間的關連，描述和分析了乾隆時代清宮廷的美學、時尚和技術。

尤其是乾隆皇帝所引導的「時尚」生活在書中體現為毛皮、冠服、紡織品、珊瑚、金銀器、佛寺鍍金器物和金屬祭器等物品的商貿數據時，所用的材料分別為何、以及為何要引進技術、又是如何引進並進行精細而科學的工藝管理，更能使讀者深刻理解本書結合貿易分析與歷史研究的學術價值。

大師如何觀看：解構我們感知、創造、學習的方式 (Drawing on The Dominant Eye)

貝蒂．愛德華 (Betty Edwards)

破解大師名畫中的眼神
解構觀看行為下的文化深意

繼《像藝術家一樣思考》風靡全球四十年後，
貝蒂．愛德華對藝術與自我探索更凝鍊的洞見

在遠早於攝影術發明的時代，人們便著迷於觀看。從遠古人類維妙維肖的洞穴壁畫、林布蘭精巧生動的蝕刻自畫像，到維梅爾《戴珍珠耳環的女孩》的深邃凝視；大師筆下的經典，是他們從觀看中淬煉而成的不朽結晶。

在這趟穿梭視界的旅程中，貝蒂．愛德華從我們的視覺運作模式來解析，揭示藝術與觀看的關係，探索潛藏於眼神的祕密──我們的眼睛就像慣用手、腳一樣，有「主視眼」與「輔視眼」之分：主視眼主導觀看，分析接收的訊息；輔視眼則在旁捕捉情緒感知做出反應。這項細微的差異在我們的日常生活當中幾乎視而不見，但只要經過適當引導，人人都能掌握觀看的力量。

梵谷在寫給弟弟的信中說：「了解自己很難，但是畫你自己也同樣不容易。」大師觀看的方式，是對自我的深刻凝視；學習大師如何觀看，探索與生俱來的視覺天賦，統合語言與感知的力量，我們將激發前所未見的創意潛能，看到這世界不同以往的樣貌。

本書特色
　　◆掌握自我的視覺模式，啟發非語言的感知能力
　　◆認識藝術創作與神話中長期潛涵的視覺文化
　　◆站在大師的視野，洞見肖像經典的奧祕幽微之處
