"Frederic Wakeman's scholarship is impeccable and the breadth of learning in this book is astounding. I repeatedly found myself slowing down to savor the material. Many of the essays in this collection are no longer easily accessible, and placing them together in a single volume will be a great benefit to the next generation of students and scholars. "—Joseph W. Esherick, author of The Origins of the Boxer Uprising "This book brings together the best of Frederic Wakeman's articles, all of which are beautifully written and represent the remarkable breadth of Wakeman's research. The opportunity to read them together sheds new light on Chinese history and on the thought processes of one of the West's greatest historians."—Madeleine Zelin, Director of the East Asian National Resource Center at Columbia University

An internationally recognized authority on Chinese history and a leading innovator in its telling, Cho-yun Hsu constructs an original portrait of Chinese culture. Unlike most historians, Hsu resists centering his narrative on China's political evolution, focusing instead on the country's cultural sphere and its encounters with successive waves of globalization. Beginning long before China's written history and extending through the twentieth century, Hsu follows the content and expansion of Chinese culture, describing the daily lives of commoners, their spiritual beliefs and practices, the changing character of their social and popular thought, and their advances in material culture and technology. In addition to listing the achievements of emperors, generals, ministers, and sages, Hsu builds detailed accounts of these events and their everyday implications. Dynastic change, the rise and fall of national ambitions, and the growth and decline of institutional systems take on new significance through Hsu's careful research, which captures the multiple strands that gave rise to China's pluralistic society. Paying particular attention to influential relationships occurring outside of Chinese cultural boundaries, he demonstrates the impact of foreign influences on Chinese culture and identity and identifies similarities between China's cultural developments and those of other nations.

When published in 1982, this translation of Professor Jacques Gernet's masterly survey of the history and culture of China was immediately welcomed by critics and readers. This revised and updated edition makes it more useful for students and for the general reader concerned with the broad sweep of China's past. Written with an elegant and flowing narrative, the essential virtue of Jacques Gernet's book is to see the history of Chinese civilization as a whole. Yet within the synthesis of the trends - social, political, religious, scientific, artistic - that make up China's past and present, the author never loses sight of the telling detail that brings history to life. A History of Chinese Civilization is illustrated by a wide range of photographs, many maps, line drawings and tables. A detailed and updated chronological table and full bibliography complement the text and the expanded index now includes Chinese characters.

This book goes through China's history by telling stories as it goes through the dynasties. It's called "Storybook of China's History" because it's a book of stories. The most famous rulers, inventors, and people of China's history are mentioned. Although older kids might enjoy it, it's especially meant for the primary grades as an introduction of China's history. Each chapter is short (one page) with a full page illustration so it's meant to be read one chapter at a time, in short lessons. It's my hope that this book inspires children to want to read more about Chinese history.

Endymion Wilkinson's bestselling manual of Chinese history has long been an indispensable guide to all those interested in the civilization and history of China. In this latest edition, now in a bigger format, its scope has been dramatically enlarged by the addition of one million words of new text. Twelve years in the making, the new manual introduces students to different types of transmitted, excavated, and artifactual sources from prehistory to the twentieth century. It also examines the context in which the sources were produced, preserved, and received, the problems of research and interpretation associated with them, and the best, most up-to-date secondary works. Because the writing of history has always played a central role in Chinese politics and culture, special attention is devoted to the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese historiography.

What great story telling!. If you want to know about the Chinese, this is the book to read.Yes, it is a book of history, yet the combination of historical descriptions, critical analyses, and interesting and information anecdotes make an otherwise dry subject a yarn; a page-turner.China has the longest, unbroken history of any country or nation in the world, and it is full of memorable and exciting narratives. This book covers them all. However, what makes this book even more distinguished is that it introduces the reader to the Chinese people and their culture through historical events and characters. It lets you know how the Chinese perceive themselves; what makes a Chinese tick.As most cultures of long standing, Chinese history began with legends and mythology. The ancient Chinese boast of a deity system of multiplicity that suggests a multiethnic beginning. Indeed, the Chinese early days were tribal. An identity was forged after a prolonged mixing of agricultural and nomadic elements. A nation of a quasi-central government was formed from it sometime about three to four thousand years ago. Then by the turn of the current millennium China became an empire with a central government; an absolute monarch.The Chinese Empire paralleled that of the Roman Empire, except that the latter crumbled under barbarian pressure. China experienced the same heathen assaults. However, instead of disintegrating as a result, China withstood the onslaughts and remained standing as one nation, absorbing that which the aliens could offer in the process.Reading Chinese history is therefore understanding how China evolved amidst numeral forced transformation due to foreign intervention, and it is an experience you do not want to pass up.
