Its first chapters historically contextualise the equality of Sung-Liao diplomacy and narrate how, during the late tenth and early eleventh centuries, the two states fought each other to a standstill before concluding peace at Shan-yüan in 1005. Later chapters cover the forms and textures of peaceful diplomatic contact between Sung and Liao that endured for the rest of the century. It will be useful for scholars and interested general readers who wish to probe beyond generalisations and explore in more detail mid-imperial China's warfare and diplomacy with its northern neighbours.History of Warfare ;33.Sung's Foreign Relations with Kitan LiaoDiplomatic relationsHistory & ArchaeologyChinaForeign relations960-1644ChinaHistory, Military960-1644ChinaHistorySong dynasty, 960-1279ChinaHistoryLiao dynasty, 947-1125Diplomatic relations.History & Archaeology.327.51/009/021Wright David354509NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910784032403321From War to Diplomatic Parity in Eleventh-Century China3757555UNINA
