Traces the use of writing to command assent and obedience in early China, an evolution that culminated in the establishment of a textual canon as the foundation of imperial authority. Focuses on the emergence of this body of writings as the textual double of the state, and on the text-based sage as the double of the ruler. Examines the full range of writings employed in early China, such as divinatory records, written communications with ancestors, and government documents, showing how these writings were used to control officials and invent new models of authority.
