Synopsis Chinese Civilization and Bureaucracy by : Etienne Balazs
Born in Hungary, trained in Chinese studies in Germany, Etienne Balazs was, until his sudden and premature death in 1963, a professor at the Sorbonne and an intellectual leader among European specialists on China. In this book, a selection of Dr. Balazs’ essays are presented for the first time in English. Arthur F. Wright, professor of history at Yale, and John K. Fairbank, professor of history at Harvard, have written a joint Preface and Mr. Wright has written an Introduction. Scholars and interested laymen will find a rich feast here in essays ranging over two thousand years of China’s social, economic, political, and intellectual history. A wealth of data supports the various theories Dr. Balazs develops, in a graceful translation by Hope N. Wright. Because Etienne Balazs regarded the Chinese past not as a curiosity but as a repository of relevant human experience, his essays are significant for anyone interested in the past and future of civilization. "If a reader should disagree with some of the brilliant points, he would still find them challenging and refreshing."—Journal of Asian Studies.

Synopsis Early China by : Li Feng
'Early China' refers to the period from the beginning of human history in China to the end of the Han Dynasty in AD 220. The roots of modern Chinese society and culture are all to be found in this formative period of Chinese civilization. Li Feng's new critical interpretation draws on the most recent scholarship and archaeological discoveries from the past thirty years. This fluent and engaging overview of early Chinese civilization explores key topics including the origins of the written language, the rise of the state, the Shang and Zhou religions, bureaucracy, law and governance, the evolving nature of war, the creation of empire, the changing image of art, and the philosophical search for social order. Beautifully illustrated with a wide range of new images, this book is essential reading for all those wanting to know more about the foundations of Chinese history and civilization.

Synopsis BUREAUCRACY IN CHINA by : YANAN WANG
This book, being included in China’s Modern Academic Work Series, is the first scientific and systematic work analyzing Chinese traditional politics with Marxist methodology. Meanwhile, it serves as the theoretical weapon in criticizing bureaucracy. Yanan Wang, the author of the book, interpreted bureaucracy which had been in China for over 2000 years through the lens of dialectical materialism. This is a book with well-organized contents and meticulously arranged arguments. The layout of the book is organized as follows. First, the author gave definition as well as classification of bureaucracy, which is followed by a brief comment on bureaucracy in other countries in the world; Second, the author demonstrated the forms of bureaucracy in China, made a profound analysis of the societal and economic foundations of bureaucracy in China - the feudal system of landlord economy, and expounded two leverages backing developed bureaucracy - Dual Taxation system and Imperial Examination system. Moreover, the author elaborated on the political and socio-economic lives of peasants, bureaucrats, and hereditary powerful family in traditional system of Chinese bureaucracy. The author finalized the book with a demonstration of the collapse of traditional old bureaucracy, and the evolvement and transformation from the old to new bureaucracy, and with a forecast of the future of Chinese bureaucracy.
