Abstract

This book is an attempt to elucidate the manner in which there emerged, on one part of the North China plain, during the 2nd millenium BC, hierarchically structured, functionally specialized social institutions organized on a political and territorial basis, and to describe the way in which, during subsequent centuries, they were diffused through much of the rest of North and Central China.
