Session 11: Pre-Tang China ③: Han until Tang dynasty

Topics

❖ Very early Chinese tea culture

Thoughts—read before class, revisit for tests

The reading assignments are essentially the same as the previous sessions since these two sessions are linked. I cover what I can in the first session and finish here.

Required—to be completed for today's session

✓ Review if necessary: Contract for a Youth [bSpace, PDF]
✓ Review if necessary: Chinese Tea Culture (Wang Ling, 2000) Chpt 1 [bSpace, PDF] (right-pointing arrow means start reading, left-pointing arrow means stop reading)

Links to each session page

Sun, Sept 1, 2013: I am migrating this site to a new site. It takes time. During this transition, there are two ways to access a particular day's web page. You can start with the new EA109 Fall 2013 Course Guide page, our official top page. It will take you directly to the new pages and redirect to old pages when necessary. Or you can use the below chart. It will take you directly to the day's session page—the new one when it exists, the old one when it has yet to be migrated. Greenhighlight means the new page exists. Sorry for the dust and mess during construction!
