What reading level is Ancient China Simplified book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chou itself was in the eyes of China proper, once a " barbarian " tribe of the west, as the founder of the Chou dynasty in 11 22 B.C. himself showed when he addressed his neighbours and allies, the eight other states of the west, and exhorted them, as equals, to assist him in the conquest of China. It was only in 771 B.C. that the original Chou appanage (since 1122 the western half of the imperial appanage) had been ceded to Ts'in, which in 984 was a petty state, still of the "adjunct-function"... (cf. page 144) type, and not " sovereign." In 984 there was no intermediate sovereign " power " between the Emperor and the Tartars, with whom, in fact, he had been directly engaged in war independently of Ts'in. He was as much under Tartar social influences as was Ts'in : in fact, the Chou principality, under the Shang dynasty, was a sort of first edition of Ts'in principality under the Chou dynasty. Just as in 1122 B.c. Chou ousted Shang as the imperial house, so in 221 B.C. Ts'in definitely replaced Chou.
