'Early China' refers to the period from the beginning of human
history in China to the end of the Han Dynasty in AD 220. The roots
of modern Chinese society and culture are all to be found in this
formative period of Chinese civilization. Li Feng's new critical
interpretation draws on the most recent scholarship and
archaeological discoveries from the past thirty years. This fluent
and engaging overview of early Chinese civilization explores key
topics including the origins of the written language, the rise of
the state, the Shang and Zhou religions, bureaucracy, law and
governance, the evolving nature of war, the creation of empire, the
changing image of art, and the philosophical search for social
order. Beautifully illustrated with a wide range of new images,
this book is essential reading for all those wanting to know more
about the foundations of Chinese history and civilization.
