MYSTERIES OF ANCIENT CHINA: NEW DISCOVERIES FROM THE EARLY DYNASTIES

by Jessica Rawson

Striking human-like figures from Guanghan in the southwest and strange monster heads from central China are evidence of religious practices quite different from those of the great dynasties we know from later written records.
