Chinese history : a new manual / Endymion Wilkinson.

"中國歷史新手冊"--cover device.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Wilkinson's bestselling Manual has been continuously in print for fifty years. It has achieved this unusual distinction because the author expanded its scope with each new edition. In the process it has grown from a modest research guide to Chinese imperial history into an encyclopedic, 1.7-million-word introduction to Chinese civilization and the primary and secondary resources and research problems for all periods of Chinese history. In recognition of its unique value, the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres (France) awarded the third edition the Stanislas Julien Prize, and in 2016, Peking University Press published the entire Manual in a three-volume Chinese edition. The Manual has been revised and expanded throughout to ensure that the sixth edition is up to date with the latest developments in digital tools and the two dozen ancillary disciplines essential for work on Chinese history. In addition, its temporal coverage has been extended to the death of Chairman Mao. In celebration of a half century of continuous publication, the enlarged sixth edition has an entirely new look, with a bigger typeface requiring two 1,000 -page volumes. Volume 1 covers topics ranging from Language, Education, and the Arts, to Science, Technology, and the Environment. Volume 2 presents primary and secondary sources chronologically by period from the Neolithic to 1976"-- Provided by publisher.
