Kingship, Law, and Gods: Sasanian Persia and Ancient China
About This Novel
The whole book is divided into two parts. The first part contains ten papers, which examine the political and religious relations, legal documents and Zoroastrian wind gods in Sasanian Persia. At the same time, the Sogdian marriage contract in Mugshan and the legal status of Sogdian women in medieval times were studied. The article also touches on the issue of Nestorianism and Manichaeism, which also originated in Persia, being introduced into China along the Silk Road. The opening chapter commemorates Mr. Cai Hongsheng, as well as the ten book reviews and conference summaries included in the second part. They mainly review several works related to the Silk Road and East-West cultural exchanges, especially the spread of ancient Iranian civilization to the east, in order to illustrate the author's academic connection with the study of Persian civilization and ancient China.
