The ascendancy of the Western Zhou in Bronze Age China, 1045-771
BC, was a critical period in the development of Chinese
civilisation and culture. This book addresses the complex
relationship between geography and political power in the context
of the crisis and fall of the Western Zhou state. Drawing on the
latest archaeological discoveries, the book shows how inscribed
bronze vessels can be used to reveal changes in the political space
of the period and explores literary and geographical evidence to
produce a coherent understanding of the Bronze Age past. By taking
an interdisciplinary approach which embraces archaeology, history
and geography, the book thoroughly reinterprets late Western Zhou
history and probes the causes of its gradual decline and eventual
fall. Supported throughout by maps created from the GIS datasets
and by numerous on-site photographs, Landscape and Power in Early
China gives significant insights into this important Bronze Age
society.
