Recenzii

"Sanping Chen's fine new work on the diversity of the first millennium of the Common Era in China is exactly what teachers and scholars of Chinese history need to be reading at the beginning of an even newer millennium. Chen begins with a startling title that immediately shakes the Confucian historiographical cobwebs with its modern sound... Chen's arguments are both penetrating and backed by linguistic evidence and a thorough understanding of the key historical documents of his period."-History: Reviews of New Books "Chen's work is a useful corrective and provides a nuanced perspective on China's history and culture in the first millennium C.E."-Peter B. Golden, Rutgers University
