Features: This book is a part of the "Illustrated Treasury of Chinese Civilization" series, with the aim of exploring and verifying the origins of the ancestors and the creation of civilization during the San Huang Wu Di era of ancient Chinese history. It serves as the general framework of the "Great Way of China." The author follows in the footsteps of Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" (Shiji) and Xu Xusheng's "The Mythical Age of Chinese Ancient History," seeking to understand the changes between past and present, the relationship between heaven and humanity, the wonders of creation, and the mysteries of life. Therefore, the author embarked on extensive travels, conducted field investigations, studied ancient texts, inscriptions, cultural relics, and ethnic customs, exchanged ideas with fellow scholars, and made new discoveries. Based on the chronological order of history, the lineage of ethnic groups, the succession of royal families, migration and development, and the trajectory of civilization, the book presents a vertical historical coordinate system. Additionally, it explores the fusion of clans, the assimilation and differentiation of bloodlines, and the spread of civilization across the four regions of the world, providing a horizontal spatial historical coordinate system. It vividly portrays the unified and layered ascent of the Chinese nation and its civilization.
