About four to five thousand years ago, the fertile flatlands of the
middle Yellow River slowly emerged and grew to what we now know
today as China. Throughout the millennia, this civilisation has
slowly evolved to be one of the world's biggest economy to reckon
with today. This book is a quick introduction to China, with the
major part being devoted to its long history. The reader is taken
on an insightful journey through the dynasties and learn first hand
the major evolutionary changes in almost every aspect of China's
development, particularly in arts and culture. Chinese philosophy,
religion, language, literature, arts, and culture are also
discussed in several chapters, providing a well-rounded
introduction to a civilisation that spans five millennia. This
compact and accessible book successfully condenses five millennia
of Chinese history and civilisation into 200 pages. More than a dry
recitation of dates, names and events, the book covers a wide range
of interesting topics such as the mythical beginnings of China,
Chinese stories and legends, traditional Chinese medicine, and more
current facts and observations.
