Section Info: Topic: China enjoys long and rich traditions. History of China can be traced back to the second millennium BC. China has been, more than once, one of the most powerful empires in world histories. Despite the fall of the last imperial dynasty over a century ago and the rapid modernization in the last three decades, traditions are still in many ways central to Chinese people's identities especially how Chinese view themselves in this ever-globalizing world. This course introduces a number of key aspects of traditional China from the Shang (c.1600-1046 BCE) to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), ranging from political thinking, rituals, law, the exam system, religion, art and so forth. We will explore not only what these traditions were but also how they were contested, debated, and reconstructed by modern Chinese intellectuals and statesmen. This course combines both lectures and class discussions.
