Dynasties: the Rise and Fall of Dynasties

It comprehensively summarizes the historical rise and fall of each dynasty from Xia, Shang and Zhou to the fall of the Qing Dynasty. It also sorts out the major events in the progress, evolution and replacement of each dynasty. It also briefly describes the rise, fall and contribution of each dynasty in different periods. It is a good book for understanding the historical context and latitude and longitude.

This book is so rich in content! It explained the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties very clearly and gave me a deeper understanding of history. Moreover, the author's descriptions are very vivid, and it feels like those historical figures have come alive. I especially like the part about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The changes during that period were so exciting! This book is really suitable for people like me who are interested in history. I must treasure it!
