China has an ancient civilzation with a very long history. Understand it solely through the study of document is clearly inadequate. A wealth of objects and remains has been preserved on Chinasvast territory and underground; much of which has been collected and is exhibited in various kind of museums. This raw material of history can, in a certain sense, be considered more valuable for our understanding of the past of China than documents and historical records.
