Features: The study of ancient Chinese civilization is an interdisciplinary research that involves numerous fields such as history, archaeology, paleography, epigraphy, the history of science and technology, art history, and the history of academic thought. It not only requires researchers to have a solid foundation in ancient texts and master a large amount of primary sources, especially those unearthed through modern archaeological methods, but also demands the use of broad perspectives in comparison and rational, thorough reasoning to gain a comprehensive understanding and holistic grasp of all these foundational materials and related disciplines. Based on his extensive experience in this field and unique insights from continuous exploration of the topic, the author of this book has compiled ten related works to systematically discuss the research on ancient Chinese civilization.
