Item description from seller

First edition, 8vo, pp. xiv, 313, [1]; full brown cloth, gilt title on spine; fine in fine pictorial dust jacket. "After their conquest of the Chinese empire in A. D. 618, the early rulers of the great T'ang dynasty sought to legitimate their authority. This book, which investigates the way various state rituals and political symbols were employed to attain this goal, is the first to view ritual as an important political tool of dynasties and a way of understanding traditional Chinese civilization.".
