Riassunto

Ancient and Medieval China covers the period from the primitive settlements of 500,000–6,500 B.C. to the Qing Dynasty of 1644–1911 A.D. It investigates social groups and classes, and introduces prominent individuals such as Genghis and Kublai Khan. Ancient and Medieval China explores the features of everyday life, changes in the climate and environment throughout the period, architectural feats such as the building of the Great Wall, and technological innovations such as the wheel and printing using ink rubbings. It also examines war and conquest, the arts and entertainment, philosophy and religious beliefs and the contribution of the ancient and medieval Chinese to the modern world. The book is full colour throughout, draws on a wide range of sources and contains learning outcomes and focus issues.
