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 rich in both text and images, not only for understanding and learning history but also as an encyclopedia reflecting the various cultures of that time. "Talking About 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 and is edited with a large number of exquisite photographs of cultural relics. On each page, paired with the illustrations, there are cultural and historical encyclopedia cards, annals of major historical events in China and abroad, 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, increasing 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 co-edited by Chen Zuhuai. It was written by more than ten scholars and experts over six years of repeated review and composition. The book is divided into fifteen volumes in chronological order, including: "Creation in the East," "The World in the Book of Songs," "Giants of the Spring and Autumn Period," "Rival States Striving for Supremacy," "A Song of the Great Wind That Shakes the Mountains and Rivers," "The Long and Winding Path to Revival," "Gathering of the Great Minds," "Unprecedented Integration," "The Atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty," "The Changing World," "A Symphony of Literary Brilliance and Tragedy," "Golden Swords and Iron Horses," "Centralization and Fragmentation," "The Setting Sun's Afterglow," and "Dignity Amidst the Roar of Guns and Cannons."
