Early Medieval China

Volume 16 (2010), 1 issue per year

Aims

Established in 1994, Early Medieval China is the world's only journal dedicated to the transformative Six Dynasties period, roughly between the end of the Han and beginning of the Tang eras. Newly designed in 2009, this interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal explores all aspects of Chinese history, literature, society and material culture of the years 220-589 A.D.  However, boundaries in historical time are rarely abrupt or sharp, so the journal's coverage is occasionally extended in either direction.

Scope

• History and culture of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as relevant developments during the late Han and early Tang
• Belles-lettres and literary criticism of the period
• Religious and philosophical movements
• Ethnic minorities and interactions among Chinese and non-native dynasties
• Early medieval art and archaeology
• Scientific and technological inventions
