About This Item
E-273: Yale University Press. Very Good. 1986. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Yale University Press, New Haven, CT. 1986. Xvi, 527 pages, 212 monochrome illustrations. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ is sunned and faded along the spine). Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The Eastern Zhou (770-256 B. C. ) , a period of great cultural and political diversity and profound and extensive change, was followed by the unification of China under the brief but brilliant Qin dynasty (221-207 B. C. ). Textual data for these two periods have been scarce, particularly for the Eastern Zhou, but new archaeological finds (including new inscriptional data) have been continually brought to light in the modern era. Here, for the first time, the new information is incorporated into a geographical and chronological framework that conforms with textual details. Perhaps no scholar is better qualified to undertake such a study than Li Xueqin, the foremost authority in China on the archaeology of this period. In the first part of his study, Li, describes the archaeological sites of Eastern Zhou and Qin, providing a historical background for each. In the second part, he traces the development of discrete categories of artifacts throughout the period. Li concludes with a general synthesis of all the data, and points to several ways in which more recent data can enable us to make fresh interpretations of the earlier information. This landmark study is essential source material for historians of ancient China, archaeologists, art historians, and antiquarians. EB; Early Chinese Civilization Series; 9.5 X 6.6 X 1.9 inches; 528 pages .
