Features: This book mainly introduces Handan, Handan, which has left behind so much for modern people: She is the oldest city in Hebei Province, with a long history leaving behind as many as 1,500 cultural relics and historical sites. The Cishan Culture Site fills the blank of Neolithic archaeological culture in China; the ruins of the Zhao Kingdom's palace are another world wonder. She is the hometown of idioms, with ancient Zhao culture leaving behind over 1,500 idioms and allusions, such as "Bearing the Branch of Humiliation," "The Yellow Dream," and "Learning to Walk in Handan," which carry profound meanings, condensing the wisdom and philosophy of the Chinese nation and offering endless inspiration to modern people. She is a grand historical stage, where events like "Adopting the Dress of the Hu and Riding Horses," the "Shachou Palace Incident," and the "Battle of Handan" are all epic poems of both majesty and tragic heroism. She is the cradle of outstanding talents through the ages, including the "First Emperor of All Under Heaven" Qin Shi Huang, the "notorious warlord" Cao Cao, the reform-minded King Wu Ling, as well as Xun Kuang and Gongsun Long, each leaving a deep mark on history with their unique contributions.
