The best and most thorough treatment of the subject I've seen. It needs two things:
1. Update from the old Wade-Giles pinyin which has been greatly superseded by the Hanyu, particularly on Wikipedia
2. A chapter on science and technology, though one can use Needham as a supplement in this regard ( )

Book description
De oorspronkelijke hoofdredakteuren van deze serie zijn John K. Fairbank † en Denis Twitchett †, per deel meestal bijgestaan door deskundigen in de betrokken periode. Ieder deel bestaat uit een aantal artikelen door deskundigen op het behandelde terrein, soms meer samenvattingen van de stand van het onderzoek, maar vaak met nieuw materiaal en nieuwe ideeën. De serie is ook goed te gebruiken als bibliografie, want naast het gedetailleerde notenapparaat van elk artikel afzonderlijk, bevat ieder deel tot slot een uitgebreide bibliografie van de door de auteurs gebruikte literatuur. De meeste delen bevatten bovendien ook nog bibliografische essays, waarin de belangrijkste primaire bronnen en secundaire literatuur worden geëvalueerd. Ieder deel bevat een gedetailleerde index op namen, zaken en gebeurtenissen, waardoor het ook bruikbaar is als encyclopedisch naslagwerk over de behandelde periode.
