Presentation

After having defended a dissertation at the EPHE (PSL) in 2022 on the divinatory and sacrificial registers of the kingdom of Chu in the fourth century B.C., I am continuing my research on the documents of practice (divinatory, sacrificial, administrative, funeral) of Chinese antiquity. On the other hand, I am developing a new project on the relations between individuals within the different social groups (master and client, landowner and tenant, lord and subject, administrator and administered, emperor and general, etc.) from the eighth BCE to the fourth century BC. The study of these relationships reflects particularly well the evolution of society before the invasion of non-Chinese nomadic populations
