Description
The fall of the Western Zhou in 771 BCE marked a pivotal moment in the history of early China. In this presentation, the archaeological and textual footprints of forced migration in the wake of this crisis will be investigated. Drawing on a tripartite typology of refugees, this presentation examines how different trajectories of flight and resettlement shaped cultural landscapes. These displacements were not only responses to crisis but also strategic acts of survival and transformation.
