Features: The glint of swords and the clamor of war have faded away. The hegemonies of Qi and Jin have returned to dust, and the glory of the seven states' contention can only be imagined. In this era of transformation, the old and corrupt are swept away, giving rise to new sprouts. Over several centuries, heroes have emerged one after another. The brilliant generals who shook the world determined the safety of nations with their actions; the eloquent diplomats who wielded words could shatter city walls with their speech. The nine provinces of Huaxia shone with stars. The pragmatic Confucius and Mencius taught people how to live; the tranquil Laozi and Zhuangzi brought people peace; the ceremonial rites of the Legalists and the frugality of the Mohists served as the spiritual source of the Chinese nation, flowing for thousands of years. This book is richly illustrated and diverse in style, vividly recreating China's long history and splendid civilization through over a thousand carefully selected historical stories. The book has a clear historical narrative, detailed historical facts, concise and lively language, and abundant illustrations, making it a high-quality historical knowledge read.
