Description

Explore the complex development of urban life in ancient China with this scholarly work from Routledge. Volume 2, The Chinese City in Comparative Perspective, provides a deep look into how hierarchical and specialized social institutions formed on the North China plain during the second millennium B.C. Author Paul Wheatley examines the way these political and territorial structures spread across North and Central China in the centuries that followed. By looking at the ceremonial centers found in Shang China, the text connects these developments to broader stages of urban growth. This volume uses comparative evidence to support its findings, making it a significant resource for those studying the history of urban genesis and ancient Chinese civilization.
