Origin of the Far Eastern Civilizations: A Brief Handbook
Beginnings of Civilization in Eastern Asia
To understand the beginnings of civilization in the Far East, we must view them in the light of the laws that govern cultural progress everywhere. Especially must we consider the region's geographical position and relationship to other lands. As a glance at a map, or better still a terrestrial globe, will show, it occupies a marginal portion of the Eurasiatic continent taken as a whole. That this fact carries with it certain implications, the stu…
The Early Empires of Central Asia. A Study of the Scythians and the Huns and the Part They Played in World History
Ainu Culture and Its Origin
An Ancient Chinese Capital. Earthworks at Old Ch'ang-an
Not least in interest among subjects of archaeological study is that which has to do with the types of fortification constructed by organized communities in the past. These, once the habit of town-dwelling had become fixed, seem to have tended to fall into two major classes : the arx, acropolis, or citadel, one of whose functions it was to provide a temporary refuge in emergency; and the enceinte or city-wall proper, designed to afford permanent …
Long-Houses and Dragon-Boats
Students no longer seriously regard the Chinese civilization as unitary in origin-as derived, in other words, from any single source. It appears rather to have developed out of the interaction, over a long period, of several antecedent cultures. Certain of its elements, past or present, are northern, even circumpolar, in distribution Others appeared first in the distant West, and only reached China (overland, not by sea) considerably later. Other…
Origin and Early Diffusion of the Traction-plough
The earlier efforts of mankind to assure an abundance of food consisted largely in the performance of magical ceremonies, frequently orgiastic in character. It is sometimes forgotten that such methods, even after regular cultivation had come into being, long continued to survive in close association with what we should consider more rational procedures. Yet this is a fact which we need to keep steadily in mind while we try to work out the early h…
The Beginnings of North and South in China
The Neolithic Age in Northern China
Northern China forms an integral part of the north temperate zone of the Old World. It is, moreover, connected with western Asia and eastern Europe by a long but continuous belt of steppe presenting no transverse barriers to migration, whether faunal or human. It cannot, therefore, be treated as a region apart, save in a very limited and subordinate sense.The surface consists in the main of mountains in the west and of plains in the east. Over mu…
Monsoon Asia
Notes on the Tomb of Ho Ch'u-ping
The Find at Hsin Chêng Hsien
The Historical Geography of Early Japan
The Geographical Factor in the Development of Chinese Civilization
The Elephant and Its Ivory in Ancient China
FEW MAMMALS, probably, have so forcibly impressed themselves upon the imaginations of the peoples coming in contact with them as has the elephant. Living, he has not only been the noblest of big game animals, but has shown himself susceptible of taming and of utilization in a variety of ways for the purposes of peace, of war, and of religion. Dead, his ivory has been eagerly sought after, and from pakeolithic times has formed one of the principal…
