1929172181Nanjing: Zongli fengan huakan bianzuan weiyuanhui 1929. Bidding China's "National Father" farewell First and only edition and printing of the official commemorative publication for Sun Yat-Sen's state burial distributed as a gift by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Over one hundred photographic illustrations record the elaborate multi-day ceremony and the appearance of Sun's mausoleum; these are accompanied by several folding architectural plans. Loosely inserted is the ministry's printed presentation card. Following Sun's death on 12 March 1925 the Kuomintang formed a 12-man committee tasked with overseeing the construction of a massive mausoleum on Mount Zijin in Nanjing. The stakes were high: amidst the breakdown of the Kuomintang's relations with the Chinese Communist Party and Chiang Kai-Shek's tightening grip on the party-state exerting control over Sun's legacy and image was paramount. The design of the site was opened to public tender the committee requiring the winning design to combine traditional Chinese styles with modern concepts of adaptive architecture. The winning architect Lu Yanzhi 1894-1929 died before construction finished and his vision was seen through to completion by his colleague Poy Gum Lee 1900-1968. Lu and Poy's American training is reflected in such design elements as the layout of the site which draws on the Mall in Washington and the Liberty Bell and the design of a statue of Sun seated in Lincoln-esque fashion. In spring 1929 the internment ceremony began with the transfer of Sun's body from Beiping to Nanjing on a special train named the "Soul Train" in Chinese. "The transfer was designed as a long drawn-out mobile media event that was to spiritually mobilize modernize and unify the population around the spirit and body of Sun Yat-sen". The internment ceremony held on 1 June 1929 after the body had lain in state for three days was a lavish and highly regulated spectacle. The body was escorted by a 3-mile-long procession to the echoes of a 101-gun salute from a gunboat moored on the Yangtze River. At midday as Song Qingling and Sun Ke Sun's wife and son closed the metal door on the tomb the ceremony closed with a national three-minutes silence. This is the most important printed record of one of 20th-century China's defining political events. The majority of copies are now housed in institutional collections and we have traced no others in commerce. Accompanying this copy are two contemporary typescript translations into English of the book's captions. Large octavo. With 73 plates 4 collotype and 35 half-tone plates 7 maps and plans 6 folding ornate title page after calligraphy by Han Minjing.
