Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"[A]n important contribution to an evolving discourse on a critical era in both Chinese history specifically and East Asian history more broadly."

* Journal of Chinese Studies *

"The book would be worth reading just for its thoughtful accounts of how various writers (Han Yu, Sun Fu, Liu Chang, Cheng Yi, etc.) addressed the distinction in their studies of the Annals, but it has a much larger argument to make."

* Journal of Chinese History *

"[A]n important contribution to the study of ethni‐city and changing rhetorical strategies involving the ever-evolving construction of Chinese identity in premodern China."

* H-Net *

"Yang has expertly painted a picture of Confucian ideological and intellectual orthodoxy, the rise of Neo-Confucianism, and the subsequent intellectual discourse that took place during the Tang-Song transition period. Those with an interest in Chinese religion have much to gain from this."
