课程大纲

• About the creation of the first centralized bureaucratic empire in 221 BC through its dissolution and restoration: Why was the imperial model successful in China? What happened when it failed? How did the foreign religion of Buddhism gain a place in the landscape that continues still today?
• The political systems and changing state-society relations, which apply to all historical periods.
• About religion as a historical phenomenon.
• To develop your own approaches to history and gain a critical appreciation of China’s literary, philosophical, political and cultural resources.
• To express ideas more clearly and confidently; to think more analytically and critically through the study of primary and secondary sources.
