"The Earliest China" is the first archaeological book in China to
translate in the dominant language of the world on the origin of
Chinese ancient civilization in the Central Plains and the study of
Xia dynastic culture. It shows readers all over the world the
outstanding achievements in the study of the formation of early
state in China and is the first English translation monograph on
the birth history of the first dynasty of Hua-Xia nation from the
perspective of archaeology. With the specific archaeological data
on the basis of excavations and investigation conducted in recent
years, this book focuses on the interpretation of the rise and
development of the ancient civilization having initially appeared
in the Central Plain of China and even in the Eastern Asia. The
book contents include abundant manifestations of the first
flourishing civilization especially at the Erlitou site along the
Yi and Luo Rivers, characteristic of ultra-large capital city,
palace buildings, elaborate bronze vessels, and stratified social
organization. With the combination of previously literature, the
original author attempts to further explain how the earliest China,
a royal-powered, and large-scaled state, emerged four thousand
years ago. In this book, the analysis on a comprehensive landscape
of the ancient civilization prior to the Shang Dynasty leads the
point of views, distinctively from the traditional historical
perspectives. With a global perspective, he further compares with
other significant civilizations in the world and also points out
cultural communications between the early China and other external
cultures in the Bronze Age. Therefore, this book, the Earliest
China of English translated version, is so appropriate to be
recommended to foreign scholars and sinologists, as well as
everyone who has been attracted by China's charm overseas. With
book contents, ideas, and thoughts that it contains, one can easily
acknowledge the goals, methods, and reconstruction process of
China's prehistory, so English readers will acknowledge so well
about the Chinese Archaeology in the Bronze Age, which does vary in
many aspects from that of European and American.
