Contacts Between the Shang and the South C. 1300-1045 BC
Celine Y. Y. Lai
Thismonograph presents the first thorough study of the bronzes from south-centralChina. The finds from the Yangtze areas have conventionally been thought tohave been entirely inspired by Shang traditions and ritual practices in Henan.This monograph applies the perspective of materiality to argue otherwise.Through investigations of three main bronze types: ritual vessels, bells andweapons, the author suggests that the Yangtze societies were far moreindependent from the Shang traditions than most archaeologists have understoodthem to have been.
