Recent archaeological discoveries, including manuscripts, have shed
new light on China's history, in particular Qin and Han (221
BCE-220 CE), this volume's main focus. They make possible a deeper
account of the growth of cities and of the spread of Chinese
influence over distant areas. This book provides the first
comprehensive survey of recent developments, evaluating the
newly-found evidence in the light of earlier conclusions from
China, Japan, Europe and America. Through cross-cultural
comparisons and a close study of both the excavated and received
literature, new conclusions are presented with respect to
relatively understudied topics, such as gender, history of science,
and modes of persuasion, while challenging the 'common wisdom' in
such fields as Buddhism, Daoism and social history. Thus the volume
provides a supplement to Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of China
(1986) and shows how subsequent archaeology has enriched our
perception of China's history in this period.
