Li Liu on the Rise of States in China
Tides of History
States have defined China from the very beginning of its recorded history more than 3,000 years ago, but how did they come into being? Professor Li Liu of Stanford University is one of the worldโs leading experts on the prehistoric archaeology of China, and she returns to Tides for the second time to tell us about states, elites, and why theyโre so central to the story of the Chinese past.
