Professor Zaki Mohamed explains in this book the political and commercial relations between both China and the Near East, and how this relationship affected arts on civilizations throughout history, and some of what Muslims mentioned regarding their admiration for the Chinese arts, and reaches the impact of Chinese art on Islamic arts.

This book was initially developed as a research that the writer delivered at a cultural conference, which was aimed at clarifying the impact of Chinese arts on Islam arts.
An interesting book in a graceful style
This is a quote from the book, we choose for you:
"The impact of Chinese methods on Islamic arts does not indicate the control of China, and its source was not often the sovereignty of elements of Chinese culture; rather, the admiration of Muslims, especially the people of Iran, witnessed these methods."
The Chinese arts were dazzled by Arab Muslims with the first regiments of the Islamic armies heading to the country beyond the river in the late first century AH, and in particular the city of "Ferghana" that contained many of the industries of China, and as a result, China called the Islamic Empire technically and influenced it.
Thus, Chinese artistic colors entered the Islamic world, such as drawing personal images, decorations, using geometric shapes, quiet colors, clothes, square seals and fighting machines.
The book has been supported by pictures, paintings and artistic drawings of Iraqis, Chinese and Iranians, more than thirty paintings with illustrative explanations, and in the end the writer put the sources from which he drew his studies.
