In a previous post I had mentioned an important resource. I offer a few more details here. The most modern and comprehensive study on the message behind the animals in Chinese art can be found in a volume of work published by Hou mei Sung in 2009. Dr. Sung, the curator of Asian art at the Cincinnati Art Museum, has brought together an important work that defines the symbolic message that is embedded in Chinese art. For scholars of Chinese art, it is an important resource.
