Features: History is the soul of a nation. A history of China in the long river of world civilization is undoubtedly extremely rich, vivid, and full of spirit. If there is an easy way to remember history, it is through stories. The title of this book is as the book is, and the book is as the title suggests. It weaves together the history of China from 220 to 316 AD through 148 historical stories, accompanied by illustrations of novels depicting this period to enhance memory. The book is both illustrative and comprehensive, not only for understanding and learning history but also as an encyclopedia reflecting the various cultures of that time.
"Speak of China" is a new-style general history of China that is based on the latest achievements of current historical research, archaeological research, and sociological research. It adopts a popular storytelling approach, supplemented by a wealth of exquisite photographs of cultural relics, to create a new genre of Chinese history for popular reading. On every page, paired with the illustrations, there are cultural and historical encyclopedia cards, records of major historical events in China and the world, and quizzes on historical knowledge, forming a massive encyclopedic popular history book. We hope this new combination can build an interesting reading bridge between the general public and serious historical science, leading readers into the grand hall of Chinese history, enlightening minds, enriching knowledge, broadening horizons, facing the future, and improving the cultural quality of the entire nation.
The entire book is planned by He Chengwei, advised by Li Xueqin, edited by Liu Xiuming, and by Chen Zuhuai. It was written over six years by more than ten scholars and experts, repeatedly reviewed and refined. The book is divided into fifteen volumes in chronological order, including:
