From the creation myth to the legendary era, it is not easy to introduce official history and connect myths, legends and official history in chronological order. It gave me a better understanding of the origin of history. I am very grateful to the author for his dedicated efforts in spreading Chinese civilization!
This book is very good! The author Tong Chao is very knowledgeable and tells Chinese history very vividly through interesting stories and exquisite pictures. I especially like some of the legends in the book, they are very interesting. Moreover, the content of this book is very comprehensive. Children can gain a lot of knowledge after reading it! It's just that my kids don't like some of the characters in it, they think they are too bad. But this also shows that the author has successfully created the characters! Overall, this is a good book worth reading.
The logic is clear, but the reading experience is average
Concise and to the point, clear in context!
If you like history, you can check it out.
The writing is very comprehensive and clear. You can use this book as a basis to expand on the parts you are interested in, but the overall readability will be poor.
A good book that allowed me to learn and understand the past and present lives of the Chinese nation more clearly. It is worth reading.
The pictures and texts are plentiful, the historical materials are relatively detailed, and the main figures and artifacts are introduced, which can be a good reference for the history before the Qin Dynasty.
