Celestial Signs and Classical Rhetoric in Early Imperial China

"Chapman's approach to omens in early China is original, persuasive, and significant. His principal claim is that the interpretation of omens—'sign-reading'—was in the hands of specialists in the Warring States and earlier periods but became a part of the intellectual and political equipment of the emerging class of classically-trained scholar-officials during the Han period. Well organized and well written, this book will be welcomed by scholars in the field of early China." — John S. Major, coauthor of Ancient China: A History
