Liangzhu Culture: Society, Belief, and Art in Neolithic China
Editat de Bin Liu Traducere de Yijie Zhuang Editat de Ling Qinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2021
Liangzhu Culture contextualises Liangzhu in broad socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and provides new, first-hand data to help explain the development and structure of this early urban centre. Among its many insights, the volume reveals how elites used jade as a means of acquiring social power, and how Liangzhu and its centre stand in comparison to other prehistoric urban centres in the world.
This book, the first of its kind published in the English language, will be a useful guide to students at all levels interested in the material culture and social structures of prehistoric China and beyond.
