Description

Adam T. Kessler (au); Bettine Birge (tr); Marc Carter (ph). In around 400 B.C., Chinese states began to erect defensive walls along the northern border, for the purpose of repelling the invasions of the often powerful groups of nomadic tribes of the Northern Asian steppelands. Chinese archaeologists from Inner Mongolia have made truly astounding finds, which are represented in this book. They give insight into the critical role that the peoples of the north played in Chinese dynastic history. These artifacts also assist us in tracing East/West cultural diffusion along the Silk Road. Relics from the collections of 10 Chinese museums toured North America in 1994 & 1995. This book is the catalog of that remarkable exhibit. Color illustrations.
