Paleography, which often overlaps with archaeology, deciphers ancient inscriptions and modes of writing to reveal the knowledge and workings of earlier societies. In this classic paleographic study of China, T. H. Tsien comprehensively traces the development of Chinese writing from the earliest inscriptions to the advent of printing, organizing its history with specific attention to the tools and media used. Written on Bamboo and Silk - the only book of its kind available in English - has long been considered a landmark in its field. Now expanded and completely updated, this edition includes material that treats the many major documents and ancient Chinese artifacts uncovered over the forty years since the book's first publication. Critical in this regard is the excavation of numerous sites in ancient cities throughout China, where hundreds of thousands of documents written on bamboo and silk - as well as other media - were found, including some of the earliest copies of historical, medical, astronomical, military, and religious texts that are now essential to the study of early Chinese literature, history, and philosophy.

A major observer and writer of Chinese cultural life, Tsien Tsuen-hsin contributed profoundly to the West's understanding of the East, and vice versa, spending sixty years as a professor and curator at The University of Chicago. These articles illuminate such topics as Chinese documents, Chinese paper, ink-making, printing, cultural exchange, libraries, and biographies, which were Tsien Tsuen-hsin's primary interests. Most of these articles were written in English and then later translated into Chinese or other languages, but several were originally written in Chinese and have been translated into English especially for this collection. An appendix includes biographical and critical context for readers unfamiliar with the author's brilliant thought and extensive impact.
