As the only uninterrupted ancient civilization still alive today, the study of China’s past promises to offer invaluable insights into understanding contemporary China. Providing coverage of the entire Imperial Era (221 BCE–1912 CE), this handbook takes a chronological approach. It includes comprehensive analysis of all major periods, from the powerful Han empire which rivalled Rome, and the crucial transformative period of the Five Dynasties, to the prosperous Ming era and the later dominance of the non-Han peoples. With contributions from a team of international authors, key themes include:Political events and leadershipReligion and philosophyCultural and literary achievementsLegal, economic, and military institutionsThis book transcends the traditional boundaries of historiography, giving special attention to the role of archaeology. As such, the Routledge Handbook of Imperial Chinese History is an indispensable reference work for students and scholars of Chinese, Asian, and World History.  aAlso available in print format. 7aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General.2bisacsh 7achina history brook.2bisacsh 7achinese history brook.2bisacsh 7ahistory imperial china.2bisacsh 7aimperial china.2bisacsh 7aimperial chinese history.2bisacsh 7aming china.2bisacsh 7aqing China.2bisacsh 7aqin china.2bisacsh 7aSong China.2bisacsh 7atang china.2bisacsh 0aCivilization. 0aElectronic books.1 aXiong, Victor Cunrui,eeditor.1 aHammond, Kenneth J.,eeditor.2 aTaylor and Francis.08iPrint version: z978113884728640uhttps://www.routledgehandbooks.com/doi/10.4324/9781315726878zClick here to view.
