| Abstract | "This book offers a radical reinterpretation of the formative stages of Chinese culture and history, tracing the central role played by cosmology in the development of China's early empires. Aihe Wang unveils the dynamic interaction between these two legacies - the cultural and the political - in the historical process." "Wang examines the transformation of Chinese cosmology between two political eras - from the hegemonic states of the Bronze Age (the Shang and Western Zhou, ca. 1700-771 B.C.) to the unified empires of the Iron Age (Qin and Han, 221 B.C.-220 A.D.). Challenging the prevailing view of cosmology as a quintessential, unchanging, homogenous structure of Chinese culture, she demonstrates how cosmology was constructive to power while at the same time was constantly transformed by the political process."--BOOK JACKET |
