The Western Zhou Dynasty marked the heyday of China’s slave society and was also the last slave society in its fullest sense in Chinese history. According to historical records and unearthed cultural relics, not only had a well-structured patriarchal and hierarchical order been established at that time, but the economy, society, culture, and other aspects had also reached a relatively high level of development. Drawing on archaeological materials and literary sources, this book describes the daily lives of the Western Zhou nobility from various perspectives, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, etiquette, marriage and romance, and funeral rites. With a combination of illustrations and texts as well as references to classical works, it is highly informative and readable, enabling readers to gain a comprehensive and multidimensional understanding of the Zhou Dynasty and offering insight into a slave society that existed 2,500 years ago.
