About This Novel

This book does not stick to the concept of "Chinese center", but projects the activities of various groups in Chinese history onto the geographical structure of the East Asian continent. It uses anthropological methods to reinterpret the legends and mysteries left by many groups in Chinese history (from Xia, Shang and Zhou to Ming and Qing). It proposes a refreshing explanation for the reasons for the rise and final direction of these ancient groups, and presents new historical knowledge that is different from the past. This book attempts to paint a dynamic picture of East Asian population migration and cultural changes, break through the huge separation between the prehistory and civilization history of the East Asian continent, and convey a complete concept of "human history." This is a great history of China from the perspective of anthropologists, which will bring readers a refreshing experience of upgrading their historical knowledge and perspectives.
