Many of the basic characteristics of Imperial China took shape during the Han period (202 BC-AD 220). This book, first published in 1982, is a key contribution to our understanding of China's cultural history. It explains the conceptual background of many of the artefacts of China's past, and calls on the written word of the philosopher, poet and historian, and on cultural treasures revealed by archaeologists.
