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 according to the celestial phenomena. Archaeological findings reveal that remote ethnic minorities, with their unique customs and lifestyles, may hold the key to solving the mysteries of prehistoric archaeology. 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 ancestors." Through the recollections of older-generation archaeologists about their archaeological careers, this book tells of the major events they experienced, unforgettable memories, the hardships of life, and the joys of discovery. It allows ordinary readers to step into the grassroots culture and 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.
