Publisher's Synopsis
Early Chinese History: Are The Chinese Classics Forged? is a book written by Herbert James Allen in 1906. The book focuses on the authenticity of the Chinese classics and their role in the early history of China. The author argues that many of the classics were forged or altered during the Han dynasty, and that they cannot be relied upon as accurate historical sources. He examines the evidence for and against the authenticity of these texts, and presents a compelling case for his theory. The book also explores the political and social context in which the classics were created, and how they were used to shape Chinese culture and identity.
