Description

Stephen Haw's Beijing - A Concise History traces the remarkable development of one of the world's most significant cities from its origins before 2000 BC through to its modern role as capital of the People's Republic of China. This scholarly work charts Beijing's transformation from earliest settlements established before 1000 BC, through its centuries as a regional centre during the Zhou dynasty, to its elevation as imperial capital following the Mongol conquest under Genghiz Khan and his successors. Haw, an established authority on Chinese history, examines the historical forces and cultural shifts that shaped the city's evolution, including the adoption of its modern name 'Beijing'. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series, this concise yet comprehensive volume offers readers a clear narrative arc spanning millennia of urban development, making it essential reading for those interested in Chinese history, urban development, and the cultural heritage of Asia's leading capitals.
