dc.description.abstract	This thesis explores the function of the Chinese abdication mythology at three distinct periods of Chinese history. It argues that the abdication myth never truly disappeared even after the book purge of the Qin dynasty. Rather the ideas became engrained in Chinese identity and ideology, manifesting themselves in political rhetoric throughout history.	en_US
