Book Description
The Cambridge History of Ancient China provides a survey of the cultural, inte

. The four subperiods of Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring St
ates, are described on the basis of literary and material sources and the evid
ence of recently found manuscripts. Chapters on the prehistoric background, th
e growth of language, and relations with the peoples of Central Asia provide t
he major context of China's achievements
in the 1,500 years under review. The teachings of China's early masters are se
t alongside what is known of the methods of astonomers, physicians and diviner
s. A final chapter leads the reader forward to imperial times, as described in
the volumes of The Cambridge History of China.
