Description

This Routledge publication offers a comprehensive exploration of China's ancient and traditional history, tracing the development of the Chinese state from its earliest periods through to the constitutional end in 1912 and the abdication of the last Ch'ing emperor. The book provides readers with a foundational understanding of how classical Chinese civilisation evolved over millennia, examining the cultural, political, and social structures that defined imperial China. By focusing exclusively on the pre-modern era, the work allows for depth and nuance in understanding the unique characteristics of traditional Chinese governance and society, whilst acknowledging that many aspects of this historical foundation continued to influence the modern Chinese state. This introduction is essential for students, historians, and anyone seeking to understand the roots of Chinese civilisation and how ancient traditions shaped the nation's trajectory into the twentieth century.

Key Features

Published by Routledge, a respected academic press known for rigorous historical scholarship and authoritative educational texts.

Provides essential context for understanding the transition from traditional imperial China to the modern state following the Ch'ing abdication.

Designed as an introduction suitable for students and general readers seeking foundational knowledge of ancient and traditional Chinese civilisation.

Examines the cultural, political, and social structures that defined imperial China over multiple centuries of development.
