The study of early China has been radically transformed over the
past fifty years by archaeological discoveries, including both
textual and non-textual artefacts. Excavations of settlements and
tombs have demonstrated that most people did not lead their lives
in accordance with ritual canons, while previously unknown
documents have shown that most received histories were written
retrospectively by victors and present a correspondingly
anachronistic perspective. This handbook provides an authoritative
survey of the major periods of Chinese history from the Neolithic
era to the fall of the Latter Han Empire and the end of antiquity
(AD 220). It is the first volume to include not only a
comprehensive review of political history but also detailed
treatments of topics that transcend particular historical periods,
such as: Warfare and political thought Cities and agriculture
Language and art Medicine and mathematics Providing a detailed
analysis of the most up-to-date research by leading scholars in the
field of early Chinese history, this book will be useful to
students and scholars of Chinese history, Asian archaeology, and
Chinese studies in general.
