A HISTORY OF CHINA

---

There are indeed enough Histories of China already: why yet another one?
Because the time has come for new departures; because we need to clear away
the false notions with which the general public is constantly being fed by one
author after another; because from time to time syntheses become necessary for
the presentation of the stage reached by research.
Histories of China fall, with few exceptions, into one or the other of two groups,
pro-Chinese and anti-Chinese: the latter used to predominate, but today the
former type is much more frequently found. We have no desire to show that
China's history is the most glorious or her civilization the oldest in the world. A
claim to the longest history does not establish the greatness of a civilization; the
importance of a civilization becomes apparent in its achievements. A thousand
years ago China's civilization towered over those of the peoples of Europe.
