Ancient China and Its Powerful Neighbors: the Rise of Nomadic Power in East Asian History
About This Novel
This book is a masterpiece of Chinese studies by American scholars. The author studies the history of China's northern Xinjiang region between 900 BC and 100 BC. He combines Chinese historical texts and archaeological data to conduct in-depth research on the confrontational relationship between early China and the steppe nomads, and provides a new interpretation of well-known historical events. It includes: the construction of early defensive walls that were later connected to become the "Great Wall"; the formation of the Xiongnu Empire, the first empire established by nomadic people in world history; a series of historical events that led to the Chinese army's conquest of the northwest region, thus opening a trade channel with Central Asia, and so on.
