Spanning four centuries, this period witnessed major evolutionary changes in almost every aspect of China's development, being particularly notable for the emergence and growth of a centralized administration and imperial government. Leading historians from Asia, Europe, and America have contributed chapters that convey a realistic impression of significant political, economic, intellectual, religious, and social developments, and of the contacts that the Chinese made with other peoples at this time. As the book is intended for the general reader as well as the specialist, technical details are given in both Chinese terms and English equivalents. References lead to primary sources and their translations and to secondary writings in European languages as well as Chinese and Japanese.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 232mmItem Length: 165mmItem Width: 61mmItem Weight: 1530gContributor: Denis Twitchett (Edited by), Michael Loewe (Edited by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Ancient HistoryBook Series: Cambridge History of ChinaAuthor: Denis TwitchettRelease Year: 1986 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
