Yuenan History of Greater China

100 Years ago, most Chinese people's understanding of their own history was still the same: the mythical Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the beginning of history, history was the history of emperors and generals, and everything outside the Central Plains was a barbarian land. However, since the birth of modern archeology in 1921, major archaeological discoveries have occurred everywhere, each time rebuilding our understanding of Chinese civilization: In 1921, the discovery of the Yangshao Culture dispelled the fallacy that China had no Stone Age; In 1928, the archaeological excavation of oracle bones from the Yin Ruins advanced China's well-documented history to the Shang Dynasty; In 1929, the discovery of the skull of "Peking Man" traced the history of mankind in China back to 500,000 years ago; The discovery of Sanxingdui in 1929 helped us get rid of the misunderstanding that Chinese civilization only originated in the Central Plains; ………… Open this book and let Mr. Yue Nan, who is a great storyteller in the field of archeology, take us back to the thrilling archaeological sites and witness how these great archaeological discoveries reconstruct our understanding of Chinese history again and again.
