I would really love some non-fiction book recs on ancient china-anything from fashion to art to general culture
I've always been really curious about China and have been recently exploring the opium wars and I would appreciate some relevant materials (studies, essays, actual books, etc) about the founding and growth of China. I really love niche topics rather than overarcing historical sagas and books on small periods of a few periods or one dynasty. I've already read a bit on the Ming dynasty and forward but again, niche topics are my bread and butter, ie jewelry, pottery, fashion, food, etc
Thank you!!
