The three millennia up to the establishment of the first imperial Qin dynasty in 221 BC cemented many of the distinctive elements of Chinese civilisation which are still in place today. Records of these early achievements, and their diverse and unexpected expressions, often lie not in written history, but in how people marked the end of their lives: their dwellings for the afterlife. Beautifully illustrated and drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, ‘Life and Afterlife in Ancient China’ shows how the tombs form a mosaic of one of the oldest civilisations in the world.
