Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Compared to the later capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Luoyang (494-534), Pingcheng on the northern border of the Chinese world has received less scholarly attention despite its far longer capital status (398-494). The main reason is the lack of written sources. In addition, there is th…e derogatory idea that Pingcheng was a latifundium inhabited by 'barbarians,' since the rulers of the Northern Wei were the Tuoba Xianbei from the eastern steppe, who established the first long-term foreign control over northern China. Traditionally, Luoyang is the epitome of the sinicized Tuoba Xianbei, while Pingcheng represents the state of the Tuoba Xianbei who were on the way to 'becoming Chinese.' Excavations show that Pingcheng, which was built on the ruins of a garrison from the Han-Dynasty, arose from nothing and the inhabitants came from outside. Burial finds indicate a steadily growing population, which is said to have reached one million in its prime. At first, tombs were erected to indicate their steppe origins. New rites and artifacts emerged in spurts. This corresponds to written records, according to which the city was mainly populated by steppe warriors, followed by forcibly relocated peoples from all conquered northern Chinese regions. The authors focus on the people(s) in Pingcheng. Zhang's epigraphic study is devoted to a Xianbei family that arose during the Pingcheng period and remained closely intertwined with the imperial court in the following centuries. Using burial finds, Müller explores the diversity and foreignness of funerary customs and artifacts, the ways in which different ethnic groups communicated and interacted, and the emergence of a new collective identity that was anything but Chinese. 184 pp. Englisch.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condizione: Neu. Neu Neuware, auf Lager - The Xianbei from southeast Mongolia were the first foreign sovereignty over North China since the 4th century. During the 200 years of Xianbei rulership, the cultures of old and new inhabitants - the Han-Chinese, the Xianbei and diverse steppe peoples, the Sogdians and… other Central Asians from the west - confronted and competed with one another. This volume is one of the first in Europe that concentrates on the cultural conflicts and the emergence of new traditions in North China during the Early Medieval period. Topics include archaeological evidence of the early Fuyu culture in southern Manchuria and early traces of Sogdians in Qinghai, impacts of Buddhism in the formation of new funerary cults and new city planning, the hybridization of diverse funerary traditions such as the use of head rests and stone beds and house-shaped sarcophagi, the emergence of a multiple identity for denizens as an adaptation to a fast changing world, and the militarization of the northern society as seen in murals and in defense lines. Also included are new insights on the Chinese sabao and Sogdian s'rtp'w titles, and discussions on Sogdian slaves in the Kocho Kingdom as well as on 'multi-culture' in Chinese historiographical works.The papers in Chinese and English have been contributed by renowned archaeologists and historians from China, the USA and Germany.
