Features: This book, titled Ancient Chinese Civilization – A Study of China’s Prehistoric History from Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions, was published in Beijing by Social Sciences Academic Press in October 1990. After its release, it was well-received by and quickly sold out. The title of the second edition was changed because its content focuses more on early history, specifically the early civilization history of China, rather than prehistoric history. The Italian text of this edition was printed in Beijing by China Literature Press and was released by Jaca Book in Milan, Italy, in September 1991. The publication was delayed due to maritime transportation difficulties caused by the Gulf War between Iraq and UN forces.
