This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Six Dynasties Period (220-589 CE) is one of the most complex in Chinese history. Written by leading scholars from across the globe, the essays in this volume cover nearly every aspect of the period, including politics, foreign relations, warfare, agriculture, gender, art, philosophy, material culture, local society, and music. While acknowledging the era's political chaos, these essays indicate that this was a transformative period when Chinese culture was significantly changed and enriched by foreign peoples and ideas. It was also a time when history and literature became recognized as independent subjects and religion was transformed by the domestication of Buddhism and the formation of organized Daoism. Many of the trends that shaped the rest of imperial China's history have their origins in this era, such as the commercial vibrancy of southern China, the separation of history and literature from classical studies, and the growing importance of women in politics and religion.

Book excerpt: Chinese History Made Easy by Hanson Chan has been praised for its concise and fresh narrations of the general history of China for common readers ever since its publication in Chinese edition five years ago. Here is the English edition of that book. In the “Preface”, the author said: “Chinese History is easy. It is easy to learn, easy to understand, and easy to remember. In this book, I'll show the readers a simple way of how easy it can be.” He explained: “There is a gift I hand out hidden between the texts of this book. There are keys for every reader to unlock doors getting through the maze of long corridors that lead to houses of many kings and queens, numerous rebels and generals in the courses of old and new histories of China. Those are useful keys for outsiders, because when you try frantically to snooping over the endless volumes of Chinese writings on the five thousand years of its history and cultural developments through the ages, you do need a good guide. This book is aiming to do that and more. It is easy to read and understand, and importantly, it also helps you to remember.” Simply speaking, the book deals with the entire five thousand years of history of China into three sections. Consecutively, they are: (1) The Ancient Period, (2) the Imperial Ages, and (3) the Modern Times. In which the Ancient Period deals with the section of its myths and origins, and its ancestors and rulers before the Qin Dynasty was formed in 221 BC. The Imperial Ages tells the section began with the First Emperor of China who was enthroned in 221 BC during the Qin Dynasty until the Last Emperor who abdicated under the Qing Dynasty in 1912 (contents of book I: Ancient & Imperial). The Modern Times is limited to a section of events after the Revolution of China in 1911 till the days of the present (contents of Book II: The Modern Times). In addition, the author has purposely introduced three “conceptual imageries” for readers to relate to the historical progress and cultural development of the entire span in Chinese history. Each has its own feature for the readers to recall its characteristic. One for each section, they are great helps to reinforce one's memory. What is more, he said, “Throughout my presentation, I have selected and focused systematically on important events and major figures for discussion according to their similarities and differences. As it has already mentioned, I assigned conceptual imageries to reinforce one's memory. In addition, I used simple arithmetic to recall historical dates. I chose one political system compared to others for signs of division when I am dealing the progress of development and continuity of Chinese culture as a whole. I applied the theory of dialectics to show the forces of oppositions at different ages as times went by and things kept changing. There were periods of peace and there were periods of chaos alternatively. There were progress moving towards the right and there were progress moving towards the left politically. All in all, they constitute records of a long path of continuous struggles of a people and a nation, lessons of either successes or failures.” In short, the interpretation in this book is fresh and unique. Together, it aims to achieve the five purposes below: (1) To help forming an outline that will never forget; (2) To examine Chinese history of five thousand years in three separate sections; (3) To reinforce the reader's memory, three basic concepts are adopted and introduced; (4) To provide an easy way to build a solid base for anyone to become an expert; (5) To use it as a tool, simply for easy reading and understanding as a common reader may wish.
