Review
“This excellent little book offers one approach to an overall treatment of ancient Chinese society within a time span embracing the Three Dynasties... The picture of ancient China which emerges from this brief yet powerful synthesis is strikingly cohesive.”―Léon Vandermeersch, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies
“The value of these short essays lies in their cross-disciplinary perspective, in the freshness of some of the ideas, and in the juxtaposition of the elements of the analysis... [They] result in new perspectives on old issues: especially the roles of myth, writing, and marriage patterns in early Chinese political culture.”―Barry Blakely, Asia and the East
