"Topics in Pre-Modern Chinese History" is a privately-produced textbook written by Prof. Gregory Smits of Pennsylvania State University, who has generously put it and his other textbooks on Japanese history on the internet for the use of the public: http://www.east-asia...y.net/textbooks
The textbook's focus is on Chinese thought and religion, but will be both useful as an overview of early Chinese culture and history for beginners, and illuminating as a reference for more experienced students of Chinese history.

The dead have passed beyond our power to honour or dishonour them, but not beyond our ability to try and understand.

Thanks for sharing!
In the long run everything that happens is, as it were, no more than the initial disturbance of a perpetual state of rest which forever attempts to re-establish itself.
