Description:
This heavy, beautifully produced volume is the definitive single-source reference on China, meticulously updated in this Revised New Edition. Compiled by a world-class team of international Sinologists, the encyclopedia provides an accessible yet deeply scholarly overview of Chinese civilization and the modern state.
Instead of simple alphabetical entries, the book is organized into broad thematic sections, covering China's physical geography, traditional society, philosophy, and early science (such as ancient celestial mapping). It spans from antiquity and early archaeology (including Shang dynasty oracle bones, see image_51.png) through traditional culture and customs (such as the Yijing and fengshui), medicine, up to momentous modern political movements (such as the 1976 Tiananmen Incident), and contemporary economic developments in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Richly illustrated with hundreds of photographs, charts, and maps, this book is an indispensable reference piece for scholars, students, and anyone looking for a comprehensive, visually stunning guide to China's past and present.
