Bone, Bronze, and Bamboo
Bone, Bronze, and Bamboo explores the tremendous wealth of
newly unearthed artifacts and manuscripts that have been
revolutionizing the study of early China. Leading scholars from
China and abroad lend their expertise in archaeology, art history,
paleography, intellectual history, and many other disciplines to
show how these fascinating finds change our understanding of
China's past. Organized in a chronological progression from the
Shang to Han periods, and treating bone, bronze, and bamboo-strip
artifacts in turn, the book treats a wide breadth of topics, from
the status of owls in Shang religion to the Zhou court's economic
interest in managing salt resources, and from the conceptual
evolution of de 德 in Spring and Autumn covenants to the
interplay between materiality and text in Han scribal primers.
Bone, Bronze, and Bamboo exemplifies the exciting energy
and sense of discovery inspired by these sources in recent years,
while surveying the latest debates and developments shaping early
