Edward Berman is a famous British writer. When he wrote the book "Two Thousand Years of Qin Terracotta Warriors", he received support and help from the Shaanxi Cultural Relics Bureau. Edward spent nearly three years visiting the cultural relics and historic sites of the Qin Dynasty, interviewed dozens of Qin history scholars and archaeological experts, and wrote a large number of interview notes. On this basis, Edward also consulted many writings in Chinese, English, French and other languages covering the history of the Qin Dynasty. He even consulted the writings of French sinologists in the 18th century. He also asked someone to translate a large number of domestic archaeological reports into English. After careful study, he began to write.
The book is composed of three parts: the history of the Qin Dynasty, the mysteries of the Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, as well as the recent archaeological discoveries and research trends of the Qin Dynasty Warriors and Horses. It cites numerous studies, plus many unpublished archaeological photos, making this book a representative work on the history of the Qin Dynasty and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in recent years. This book alone cites more than 200 documents (articles). It is a major book in the English-speaking world that introduces the history of the Qin Dynasty and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. During the publication process of the Chinese version of the book, it once again received strong support from the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and rigorous review and approval by the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum.
Reader comments
I think this book is really great! The author Edward Berman spent nearly three years visiting ancient monuments in order to write this book. This spirit is really admirable. Moreover, the content of this book is also very rich. It not only covers the history of Qin, but also the mysteries of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It makes me, a person who is very interested in history, very enjoyable to read. I especially like the part about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the book. Seeing those unpublished archaeological photos makes me feel like I participated in the excavation process of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in history, but also for people like me who run around the city. Reading this book is like taking a trip through time and space.
