First sentence: The traditional Western view of Chinese history as a series of cycles, in which dynasties rose and fell against a background of institutions which changed little over the centuries, was to a large extent shared by the Chinese themselves, who liked to base their political systems on idealised precedents dating back to the Golden Age of the Chou dynasty.
