Features: China is one of the cradles of the world's four great civilizations. On this vast land in the eastern part of the Asian continent, nurtured by the two great rivers, the Yangtze and the Yellow River, the yellow-skinned Chinese have, through generations, preserved the same cultural roots and inherited the same cultural traditions. The length, breadth, and depth of the tradition of Chinese civilization are well illustrated by the vast number of ancient ruins and artifacts that have been passed down to this day, as well as the diverse and extensive remains of ancient civilizations. This book classifies and explains Chinese artifacts. It is broadly divided into twelve categories, including painted pottery, beautiful jade, bronze ware, figurines, sculptures, murals, and stone carvings, and introduces the general development of the origins and evolution of artifacts in each category.
