Note(s) : This book brings together in one volume many of teh author's seminal essays on the
origins of early Chinese civilization. Written over a period of three decades and
accessible to the non-specialist, these essays provide a wealth of information and
insights on the Shang dynasty, traditionally dated 1766-1122 or 1056 BCE. Of all the
eras of Chinese history, the Shang has been a particularly elusive one, long considered
more myth than reality. A historian with a keen appreciation for anthropology and
archaeology, the author has given us many descriptions of Shang life. Best known for
his analysis of oracle bones, he has looked beyond the bones themselves and expanded
his historical vision to ponder the lives of those who used them. What did the Shang
diviner think he was doing? The temerity to ask such questions and the insights they
have provided have been provocative and, at times, controversial. Equally intriguing
have been the author's assertions that many of the distinctive features of Chinese
civilization were already in evidence during the Shang, 3000 years ago. -- From publisher's
