Abstract

"By shedding light on a long-forgotten epigraphic genre that flourished in North China under the rule of the Mongol empire, this book explores the ways the conquered Chinese people understood and represented Mongol ruling principles in their own cultural tradition. The evolution of genealogical steles delineates the way Mongols thoroughly recast the local elite stratum in North China who fully accommodated to the principles of Mongol imperial rule and became one of its cornerstones in eastern Eurasia"--
