Among hundreds of thousands of ancient graves and tombs excavated to date in China, the Mancheng site stands out for its unparalleled complexity and richness. It features two juxtaposed burials, those of the first king and queen of the Zhongshan kingdom (dated late second century BCE).This book is the first scholarly monograph on an undisturbed and fully excavated early Chinese royal burial site. $60.00 / £50.00 cloth 978-0-231-19102-9
In the past twenty years, work on the local culture of central Hunan has been one of the most exciting sources for rethinking the nature and variety of Chinese local society. At the heart of this society is a kind of statuary found nowhere else in China— sculpted images of local people, primarily religious specialists of a wide range, but also parents and ancestors. Based on two decades of international collaborative research, Alain Arrault focuses on some 4,000 of these statues.
