Book excerpt: Austronesian Art and Genius brought us on a journey of discovery Book 2, The Austronesian Dilemma explored the abundant jade artifacts left by our ancestors to find answers to the questions of our past. In the 3rd book of the Austronesian series, The Austronesian Story in Western Zhou Bronze, we listen to the story told by ancient bronze vessels found on the Philippine islands and correlate them with similar artifacts of Classical China. These bronze vessels made in the piece-mold casting method were able to hold extremely fine detail, including ancient texts that captured historical events, giving us a precious opportunity to learn about the past as narrated by those who were actually there.
