About This Novel
"A Brief History of the Western Zhou Dynasty" begins with the birth of Hou Ji, the legendary ancestor of the Zhou people, and ends with King Ping of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty moving his capital to Luoyi. In chronological order, with the Zhou kings as the main line, it comprehensively integrates handed down historical documents and modern paleontology and archaeological results. It uses a rigorous academic attitude, a writing form of narrative, discussion, and textual research, and a relaxed and easy language to introduce the Western Zhou Dynasty. The historical events and character stories of the nearly 300 years of the Zhou Dynasty (including the previous Zhou Dynasty) are organically and skillfully interspersed with the Western Zhou ritual and music system, land system, living customs, language and literature, and relevant important archaeological discoveries in modern times. It comprehensively and multi-anglely restores the ancient history that established the direction of Chinese culture but was rough and hazy due to the lack of documents.

I feel that reading this book is worse than reading "The Bamboo Year" directly.
