"The importance of apocalyptic thought in medieval China has long been downplayed in Anglophone scholarship, so it is a great pleasure to have at last a book based firmly on the key surviving sources to redress this imbalance. April Hughes’ work is the first study to pull all of the materials together and put them and the political regimes and rebel movements that took cognizance of such beliefs in a helpful chronological sequence. It is original, sound, and important."" —T. H. Barrett, SOAS, University of London"
