"Ancient China, the cradle of a great civilization whose influence spread throughout South-East Asia, and whose splendor and complexity were recounted by a tradition thousands of years old, surprised archaeologists last century when immense treasures came to light intact, confirming historical accounts and encouraging further research which is sure to bear fruit. The texts by Maurizio Scarpari, and over 400 illustrations, recount the amazing history of the civilization and culture of ancient China, from the Neolithic (8500 -1700 B.C.) through the Bronze Age, represented by the three pre-Imperial dynasties, Xia (21st-16th century B.C.), Shang (16th-11th century B.C.), and Zhou (11th century - 221 B.C.), to the period of the Empire, which began with the short-lived Qin dynasty (221-206 B.C.) and reached the height of its glory under the Han dynasty (206 B.C. - 220 A.D.) and the Tang dynasty (618 - 907 A.D.). An important section of the book is devoted to analyzing the various aspects of social organization and everyday life, from religious beliefs to politics, from ethics to the family, from entertainments to war. Particular emphasis is placed on art, the precious artifacts made of jade and metal (especially bronze, but also gold and silver, with which bronze was often associated), and the extensive production of pottery, lacquerware, paintings, and articles made of semi-precious stones, wood and glass. The reader will be taken on a tour of some of the most important archaeological sites, from the magnificent tombs of the nobility, in which a huge quantity of artifacts of all kinds has been discovered (exquisite lacquerware, jewelry, armor, texts written on strips of bamboo and rolls of silk, ritual bronze vessels, musical instruments, and magnificent shrouds made of jade and gold thread), to the imposing Mausoleum of the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi, with its amazing terracotta army, and the spectacular Buddhist cave temples, a form of religious art which demonstrates a fervent religious spirit." - from the inner front jacket flap.
