Description: China, the most populous country in the world, stands out for its remarkable historical and cultural continuity. In this richly illustrated single-volume history, acclaimed historian Patricia Ebrey explores the evolution of Chinese culture from its ancient beginnings to the modern era. Ebrey delves into the rise of Confucianism, Buddhism, and the major imperial dynasties, as well as the impact of Mongol, Manchu, and Western influences, leading up to the contemporary communist state. Her extensive coverage includes Chinese arts, culture, economy, society, women's roles, foreign policy, emigration, and politics, highlighting pivotal events such as the 1919 and 1989 Tiananmen Square uprisings. This book serves both as a thorough introduction to China's rich civilization and a detailed examination of its historical continuity and changes.
