This innovative sourcebook builds a dynamic understanding of
China's early medieval period (220-589) through an original
selection and arrangement of literary, historical, religious, and
critical texts. A tumultuous and formative era, these centuries saw
the longest stretch of political fragmentation in China's imperial
history, resulting in new ethnic configurations, the rise of
powerful clans, and a pervasive divide between north and south.
Deploying thematic categories, the editors sketch the period in a
novel way for students and, by featuring many texts translated into
English for the first time, recast the era for specialists.
Thematic topics include regional definitions and tensions,
governing mechanisms and social reality, ideas of self and other,
relations with the unseen world, everyday life, and cultural
concepts. Within each section, the editors and translators
introduce the selected texts and provide critical commentary on
their historical significance, along with suggestions for further
reading and research.
