About This Novel
The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period (220-589 AD) was one of the complex periods in Chinese history. Written by scholars from across the globe, the essays in this volume cover virtually every aspect of the period, including politics, foreign relations, war, agriculture, gender, art, philosophy, material culture, local society, and music. These articles argue that this was a period of change in which Chinese culture underwent significant changes and enrichment under the influence of foreign ideas. This was also a time when history and literature were recognized as independent disciplines, and religion was transformed through the indigenization of Buddhism and the formation of organized Taoism. Many trends in later ancient Chinese history stem from this era, such as the commercial dynamism of southern China, the separation of history and literature from classical studies, and the growing importance of women in politics and religion.
