This historical survey traces China’s past from its earliest traditions through the rise, conflict, and transition of successive dynasties. Written for readers approaching the subject from outside China, it presents the country as an ancient civilization with political institutions, social customs, military struggles, and imperial changes that shaped its place among nations. The account follows major periods of rule, rebellion, foreign contact, and internal change, giving attention to the forces that preserved continuity as well as those that unsettled the empire. Its nineteenth-century perspective makes it especially useful for readers interested not only in Chinese history, but also in how English-language historians of the period interpreted Asia, empire, diplomacy, and global power. This edition offers a substantial historical narrative for students, collectors of classic history writing, and general readers seeking a structured introduction to China’s long imperial past.
