A Brief History of Ancient China adapts a traditional Chinese historical format to present a multi-faceted account of the first two millennia of China's earliest history: from the time of the legendary rulers Yao and Shun (c. 2000 BCE) down to the end of the Qin dynasty (221-207 BCE).
Organised into five major sections, it examines the political shifts of the major dynasties, the histories of local states, and the lives of key individuals. Drawing on analysis of textual and visual materials, and a variety of English and non-English sources, Edward L. Shaughnessy offers detailed insight into the contemporary religious and philosophical landscape, governmental and legal practices, and innovations in writing, literature, and music. Incorporating recent developments in the field, this book draws on archaeological discoveries from the last century, and examines the lives of central female figures, and other groups who are often underrepresented.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Bloomsbury AcademicISBN-13:9781350170377ISBN-10:1350170372UPC:9781350170377Book Category:HistoryBook Subcategory:Ancient, AsiaBook Topic:China, Southeast AsiaSize:8.43 x 5.43 x 0.94 inchesWeight:0.522Product ID:SCYN8TJ923
