This book presents a collection of archaeological and
anthropological writings by Li Chi, the founding father of modern
archaeology in China. It is divided into two parts, the first of
which traces back the rise of Chinese civilization, as well as the
origins of the Chinese people; in turn, the second part reviews the
rise of archaeology in China as a scientific subject that combines
fieldwork methods from the West with traditional antiquarian
studies. Readers who are interested in Chinese civilization will
find fascinating information on the excavations of Yin Hsu (the
ruins of the Yin Dynasty), including building foundations, bronzes,
chariots, pottery, stone and jade, and thousands of oracle bones,
which are vividly shown in historical pictures. These findings
transformed the Yin Shang culture from legend into history and thus
moved China's history forward by hundreds of years, shocking the
world. In turn, the articles on anthropology include Li Chi's
reflections on central problems in Chinese anthropology and are
both enlightening and thought-provoking.
