Features: Chinese history is like a long river, with the myth of "Pangu opening the heavens and dividing the earth" as its source, flowing quietly. It flows through the farmlands and pastures of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, through the bustling cities and post stations of the prosperous Tang and Han dynasties, through the golden swords and horses of Genghis Khan, and continues to flow without stopping. Eventually, it reaches us, gazing at this increasingly busy world with its marvelous and ever-changing eyes.Facing this vast history, facing the profound Chinese culture, how should we approach it and appreciate it? Perhaps a set of "The Twenty-Five Histories" is enough to thoroughly explore Chinese history. But, that's from an adult's perspective. For children, classical Chinese is after all not their language. Children need to interpret this thick book of Chinese history in their own language. One day over twenty years ago, a book was born, and all the children were delighted. They picked it up and entered a colorful world of history. This book is "A History of China: 5000 Years."
