Description

Explore a groundbreaking study of early imperial China in The Empire of the Text. This work examines the Qin-Han period to reveal how a regime of textual authority emerged alongside imperial power. Rather than viewing these forces as identical, the research demonstrates how they overlapped to shape Chinese history. By combining diverse research and theory, the author provides a fresh look at early imperial elite culture. This book is essential for those interested in the development of literature, linguistics, and institutional history. It offers new ways to understand how texts were transmitted and how canons were formed during this era. Readers will find an innovative framework for discussing the early imperial elite and their socio-ideological structures. This study makes an original contribution to the fields of intellectual history and the study of textual transmission systems, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of Chinese history.
