ix + 369pp, glossary, bibliography, index, paperback. Relations between Inner Asian nomads and Chinese are a continuous theme throughout Chinese history. By investigating the formation of nomadic cultures, by analysing the evolution of patterns of interaction along China's frontiers, and by exploring how this interaction was recorded in historiography, this book looks at the origins of the cultural and political tensions between these two civilisations through the first millennium BC. The main purpose of the book is to analyse ethnic, cultural, and political frontiers between nomads and Chinese in the historical contexts that led to their formation, and to look at cultural perceptions of 'others' as a function of the same historical process. Based on both archaeological and textual sources, this book also introduces a new methodological approach to Chinese frontier history. Publisher's description.
