A leading scholar in the United States on Chinese archaeology
challenges long-standing conceptions of the rise of political
authority in ancient China. Questioning Marx's concept of an
"Asiatic" mode of production, Wittfogel's "hydraulic hypothesis,"
and cultural-materialist theories on the importance of technology,
K. C. Chang builds an impressive counterargument, one which ranges
widely from recent archaeological discoveries to studies of
mythology, ancient Chinese poetry, and the iconography of Shang
food vessels.
