Features: The magnificent Qin capital, Xianyang, ultimately could not withstand the fire of the Chu people. Historical records state that the Qin people planned the city layout based on the celestial phenomena. Archaeological findings reveal the remote ethnic minorities, their unique customs and lifestyles—can we find the key to unlocking the mysteries of prehistoric archaeology from this? Archaeologists Wang Xueli, Wang Ningsheng, and Li Yangsong will take you on a journey to "explore the customs of the nine states and examine the traces of the ancient people." Through the recollections of the older generation of archaeologists about their archaeological careers, this book tells the great events they experienced, unforgettable memories, the hardships of life, and the joys of discovery. It allows ordinary readers to enter the grassroots countryside and the halls of ancient history and culture of China, as well as the inner world of archaeologists, for a unique cultural and spiritual journey. The book includes the explorations and discoveries of archaeologists in ethnological archaeological research and the search for the capital of the Qin Empire, Xianyang.
