Birth of an Empire: The State of Qin Revisited (New Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society)

In 221 BCE the state of Qin vanquished its rivals and established the first empire on Chinese soil, starting a millennium-long imperial age in Chinese history. Hailed by some and maligned by many, Qin has long been an enigma. In this pathbreaking study, the authors integrate textual sources with newly available archeological and paleographic materials, providing a boldly novel picture of Qinâ€™s cultural and political trajectory, its evolving institutions and its religion, its place in Chinaâ€™s history, and the reasons for its success and for its ultimate collapse.
