A Collection of Archaeological Manuscripts from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties
by Su Bai
About This Novel
Mr. Su Bai is a master who creates paradigms and establishes systems in the Chinese archaeological community. This "Collection of Archaeological Manuscripts of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties" contains thirty-nine articles by Mr. Su. It is a representative work of archeology in the historical period and presents Mr. Su Bai's full and careful thinking on the archeology of this historical period. The book scientifically organizes typical archaeological materials from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties from multiple perspectives, including the evolution and development of ancient cities, changes in tomb forms, and the layout of temple ruins - from the "overlapping cities of ancient and modern times" Chang'an and Luoyang, to the rise and fall of the Zhang family in the Liao Tombs in Xuanhua, to the silver vase at the Jokhang Temple in Tibet, the vaults at Longxing Temple in Qingzhou, the murals at Yongle Palace in Shanxi, and even the jade insect cook at Horyuji Temple in Nara, Japan. Mr. Su Bai used a consistent method of mutual verification between archaeological practice and history and documents to build a clear system of classification and periodization for a large number of scattered archaeological materials, and put forward many weighty views, especially the advent of the concept and method of "urban archeology", which influenced and guided a large number of subsequent archaeologists.
