historical compendia, the author offers a wealth of detailed information - in translation - on matters such as the goods exchanged, the negotiations for peace and alliances, special missions required by diplomatic etiquette, foreign requests for marriage with Chinese princesses, et cetera Special emphasis is given to the meaning of the so-called “tribute missions”, in reality a disguised form of trade. |
