This book presents an anthology of English-language archaeological and anthropological writings by Li Chi, the founding father of modern archaeology in China.
This book presents an anthology of English-language archaeological and anthropological writings by Li Chi, the founding father of modern archaeology in China. It is divided into 15 chapters; in the first two, Dr. Li sets the stage by introducing the principal characters involved in the first "act" of this modern archaeological drama; in the third and fourth chapters, he describes the status of Chinese archaeology during the early years of the twentieth century and highlights the contributions of prominent foreigners. Starting with the fifth chapter, Dr. Li begins detailing the excavations and describes the principle finds of the Anyang expedition. In turn, the book''s closing chapters present a summary of the findings and descriptions of some of the major publications that this monumental project has yielded.
For readers who are interested in Chinese civilization, what will appeal to them most are the details of 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. The anthology also includes Li Chi''s reflections on central problems in Chinese anthropology, which are both enlightening and thought-provoking.
