In his wonderful book, "China and the Arts of Islam," Zaki Muhammad Hassan takes us on an exciting historical journey that sheds light on the cultural and artistic interaction between China and the Islamic Empire since the earliest times. The book traces the enormous influence that Chinese arts had on the Islamic world, from the arrival of Arab conquerors in Transoxiana to the introduction of Chinese colors and techniques into Islamic decorative arts. The author presents how Chinese art influenced the development of Islamic art, explaining subtle details such as the use of soft colors, square seals, and geometric shapes, in addition to the influences on clothing and fighting machines. The book culminates in an appendix containing more than 30 paintings by Iraqi, Iranian, and Chinese artists, as a witness to this unique creative exchange between the two civilizations.
