This thorough exploration of the aspects of everyday life in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) provides fascinating insight into a culture and time that is often misunderstood, especially by those from western cultures. Here students will find the details of what life was really like for these people. How was their society structured? How did they entertain themselves? What sorts of food did they eat? The answers to these and other questions are provided in full detail to bring this golden age of Chinese culture alive for the modern reader.

Based mainly on classical translations from the Chinese themselves, each chapter addresses a specific aspect of daily living in the voices of those who lived during the time. A myriad of interesting details are provided to help readers discover, among other things, what life was like in the city, what homes and gardens were like, how the role's of men and women differed, and the many rituals in which people participated. Detailed descriptions of the clothes and materials people wore, the games they played and the cooking methods they used for specific foods provide readers with the ability to experiment on their own to recreate the time and place, so they can have a better understanding of this intriguing culture.

Eddie Nessuno
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've read on ancient China
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013
Verified Purchase
Having a Chinese wife and a deep respect for Chinese culture, I find this book invaluable in understanding China's past. Read it. It is so important to know more about the country that will, within the lifetime of many of us, overtake the USA as the number one global power. In a well-written and widely researched book, Charles Benn has achieved the impossible... brought to life for a modern Westerner a strangely alien world from which the China we know (or think we know) has emerged. Follow this book with 'When China Rules the World' by Martin Jacques (Penguin Books) and you'll be getting somewhere!
