Do we understand Chinese history? From ancient tribes to the Qing Dynasty, is China really a celestial kingdom? What position did China occupy in world history? Without understanding China in world history, it is impossible to truly reflect on the present, to understand the rise and fall of the past, and to deeply understand the significance of today's revival and rise.
Grusset's "History of the Chinese Empire" takes the historical development time of Chinese civilization as a clue and uses vivid and objective language as a carrier. It collects the major historical events and deeds of outstanding figures in the past dynasties starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The text is easy to understand, the content respects historical facts, and impartially comments on the characters, allowing readers to be inspired by both history and literature.
