Crisis and Conflict in Han China. 104 BC to AD 9.
London. Allen & Unwin. 1974. Stock ID #213408 "This book illustrated the growth of two attitudes towards government during the first century BC, the one progressive, realist and forward looking, the other conservative, idealist and harking back to the past. For the first time an historian of Han China attempts to demonstrate the close relationship that existed between political decisions, intellectual policy and the choice of religious observances of state. At the same time he shows how personal ambitions and the intrigues of the palace were intimately involved with the interplay of these two basic attitudes." - Dustjacket blurb.
