Children in the Qin and Han Dynasties
Routledge
978-1-041-10763-7 (ISBN)
The book takes three innovative approaches: it pioneers a child-centred perspective that challenges traditional adult-centred historical narratives, combines classical texts with archaeological evidence, and employs a comprehensive interdisciplinary methodology. Through detailed analysis, it explores children's health, education, play, work and emotional lives, while illuminating wider social structures and cultural patterns. The first volume examines birth, health, play and education. investigates children's social experiences and conditions. The third volume explores the multiple identities and roles of children (or minors) in Qin and Han society.
The set will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, Chinese cultural history, social history and childhood studies.
