It is divided into two parts, the first of which traces back the rise of Chinese civilization, as well as the origins of the Chinese people; in turn, the second part reviews the rise of archaeology in China as a scientific subject that combines fieldwork methods from the West with traditional antiquarian studies. Readers who are interested in Chinese civilization will find fascinating information on the excavations of Yin Hsü (the ruins of the Yin Dynasty), including building foundations, bronzes, chariots, pottery, stone and jade, and thousands of oracle bones, which are vividly shown in historical pictures. These findings transformed the Yin Shang culture from legend into history and thus moved China?s history forward by hundreds of years, shocking the world. In turn, the articles on anthropology include Li Chi?s reflections on central problems in Chinese anthropology and are both enlightening and thought-provoking. 410 0$aChina Academic Library,$x2195-1853 607 $aChina$xCivilization 676 $a951 700 $aLi$b Ji$f1896-1979,$0654528 801 0$bCaPaEBR 801 1$bCaPaEBR 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427036203321 996 $aThe beginnings of Chinese civilization$91933904 997 $aUNINA
