Ancient China: A History surveys the East Asian Heartland Region -
the geographical area that eventually became known as China - from
the Neolithic period through the Bronze Age, to the early imperial
era of Qin and Han, up to the threshold of the medieval period in
the third century CE. For most of that long span of time there was
no such place as "China"; the vast and varied territory of the
Heartland Region was home to many diverse cultures that only slowly
coalesced, culturally, linguistically, and politically, to form the
first recognizably Chinese empires. The field of Early China
Studies is being revolutionized in our time by a wealth of
archaeologically recovered texts and artefacts. Major and Cook draw
on this exciting new evidence and a rich harvest of contemporary
scholarship to present a leading-edge account of ancient China and
its antecedents. With handy pedagogical features such as maps and
illustrations, as well as an extensive list of recommendations for
further reading, Ancient China: A History is an important resource
for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on Chinese History, and
those studuing Chinese Culture and Society more generally.
