Introduction -- Early China : 5000-221 BC -- Empires : 221 BC-AD 960 -- Emperors, scholars and merchants : 960-1279 -- Mongols and Ming : 1271-1644 -- Qing: the last dynasty : 1644-1911 -- Modern China : 1911-present.

This illustrated introduction to the history of China offers a fresh understanding of China's progress from the Neolithic age to the present. Told in six chapters arranged chronologically, through art, artifacts, people, and places, and richly illustrated with expertly selected objects and artworks, it firmly connects today's China with its internationally engaged past. From the earliest archaeological relics and rituals, through the development of writing and state, to the advent of empire, the author charts China's transformation from ancient civilization into the world's most populous nation and influential economy, offering historical insights and cultural treasures along the way. This accessible book presents an eclectic mix of materials including Chinese theater, the decorative arts, costume, jewelry, and furniture-making, running through to the most recent diffusion of Chinese culture.

The formation of Chinese civilization :  an archaeological perspective /  Kwang-chih Chang, Xu Pingfang ; Lu Liancheng [and others] ; edited and with an introduction by Sarah Allan ; foreword by Peter J. Ucko.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 311-352) and index.

Early humans in China -- The beginning of farming -- The Yangshao period : prosperity and the transformation of prehistoric society -- The formation of civilization : the interaction sphere of the Longshan period -- The rise of kings and the formation of city-states -- Society during the Three dynasties -- The eastern Zhou and the growth of regionalism -- The formation of the empire by the Qin and Han dynasties and the unification of China.

Paleolithic sites from one million years ago, Neolithic sites with extraordinary jade and ceramic artifacts, excavated tombs and palaces of the Shang and Zhou dynasties-all these are part of the archaeological riches of China. This magnificent book surveys China's archaeological remains and in the process rewrites the early history of the world's most enduring civilization. Eminent scholars from China and America show how archaeological evidence establishes that Chinese culture did not spread from a single central area, as was long assumed, but emerged out of geographically diverse, interacting Neolithic cultures. Taking us to the great archaeological finds of the past hundred years-tombs, temples, palaces, cities-they shed new light on many aspects of Chinese life. With a wealth of fascinating detail and hundreds of reproductions of archaeological discoveries, including very recent ones, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Chinese antiquity and Chinese views on the formation of their own civilization. --Publisher.

" ... originally appeared in Nanjing in 1387 or 1388 [textual history follows] ... a pioneer work on Chinese art and archaeology. It deals with calligraphy, paintings, zithers, stones, jades, bronzes, ink-slabs, ceramics, and lacquer; also with certain imported items, such as carpets, rare woods and stones. Wang Zuo, who lived during the years following rhe great expeditions of Zheng He, Chen Chen, et al., was able to expand this area somewhat, as he did in certain new subjects: imperial seals, iron tallies, official costumes of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and palaces of the Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan. One omission, noted long ago, is a general discussion of seals, possibly because both Cao and Wang saw no need to add to the existing literature on this subject. Perhaps the most significant contributions are the descriptions of porcelain and lacquer (Ru 汝 ware)" Cf.: Dictionary of Ming biography, pp. 1296-1298.
