Mad Rulers and Worthy Sons

A Translation and Analysis of the Newly Excavated Zhouxun

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book offers the first comprehensive study and translation of the ancient text Zhouxun, which reveals a unique perspective on succession among Chinese monarchs. Unlike traditional practices that favored primogeniture or noble lineage, it emphasizes the importance of an heir's abilities. This blend of hereditary and meritocratic principles reshapes our understanding of political values and governance in early China. Alongside the translation, the work includes an in-depth analysis of the text's history, structure, and significance, marking a pivotal contribution to the field.
