Traditional ChinaThis course offers an introduction to the history of China from earliest times through the sixteenth century. In tracing the social, cultural, political, and intellectual developments of some three thousand years, the course presents an opportunity for students to explore both the grand themes and specific contingencies of a dynamic civilization. Covering such a long period of time in a vast and ever-changing territory, the course does not present a comprehensive examination of Chinese history. Rather, it provides the framework and tools to enable students to pursue individual interests and passions relating to China, past and present.
But gunpowder, paper, fireworks, silk, the toothbrush, and alcohol were all invented in China!
