Made in China - that's what it says on a lot of things that surround us: smartphones, clothes, toys. But do we really know that much about this country? China is not only the most populous country in the world, but also the heir to one of the great civilizations of antiquity - the only one whose history continues to this day. Before you is a truly unique book - the whole history of ancient China under one cover: how it began 40 thousand years ago with the appearance of man in China and how it ended in the III century AD with the fall of the Han Empire. It was written by an expert on the history of China - Sergey Viktorovich Dmitriev. The history of China is like a variegated Chinese silk - so much in it intertwined a variety of events - so begins his book the author. And in this you can be sure from the very first chapters: before your eyes the gods of ancient myths will come to life, hieroglyphs will speak, ancient kingdoms will start a deadly battle, emperors will send expeditions in search of immortality. In this book, each reader will find a chapter to his liking. Someone will be interested in how empires emerged and disintegrated, how struggled for power pretenders to the throne and what awaited the winners. Another will be fascinated by the story of everyday life in antiquity: what people ate and what they wore, where they studied and what they played, how they celebrated holidays and saw off the dead in their final journey. The text is accompanied by illustrations: some are reproductions of works of ancient art, others are reconstructions of everyday life and daily life in China, and finally, others are comics invented by artist Nadezhda Davydova. Thanks to these comics, even the most complex turns of Chinese history will seem to the reader an exciting adventure and will be remembered without difficulty. Who built the Great Wall of China? With whom did the terracotta army fight? How did wasps help invent paper, and how did butterflies gold the empire? Our encyclopedia will help you learn about this and much more. Ancient China is waiting for you! For middle and high school age.
