Features: Chinese history is long and profound. For a student, especially one who is just beginning to learn about Chinese history, it is nearly impossible to memorize the complex figures, dates, and events if you are not a genius. Ask those who have just graduated from school. How many liberal arts students can recall the exact date of Emperor Wen of Sui's accession? How many science students can write down the formula for the Pythagorean theorem without hesitation? In "Chatter Stories," we strive to present the five thousand years of Chinese history in an engaging way. From character portrayals, language design to story chapters, everything is presented in a child-friendly manner. The high ratings of "Chatter Stories" broadcasted on Beijing Television's "Seven Colors" program prove the feasibility of our approach. Here, we publish a selection of "Chatter Stories" to meet the needs of more readers. This book includes: Creation of Heaven and Earth; Drilling Wood for Fire; Shennong Tastes a Hundred Herbs; The Battle of Huangdi and Chiyou (Part 1); The Battle of Huangdi and Chiyou (Part 2); Yao, Shun, and Yu (Part 1); Yao, Shun, and Yu (Part 2).
