"The Origin of Chinese Civilization" is the representative work of the archaeological giant Xia Nai's systematic study of the origin of Chinese civilization. It is also the foundation work of modern archaeology and has epoch-making significance.
The whole book is divided into three parts. "Review and Prospects of Chinese Archeology" introduces the birth of Chinese archeology, as well as the cultural sites discovered in various places and their cultural characteristics. "Silk of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the Silk Road" focuses on the archaeological discoveries of silk fabrics of the Han and Tang Dynasties, as well as the Silk Road and cultural exchanges at that time. "The Origin of Chinese Civilization" explains the endogeneity of Chinese civilization through various archaeological evidences, that is, the Chinese civilization that the world pays attention to is an independently developed civilization. Although it is not completely isolated from the outside world, it is native to China. This answers every Chinese's questions and pursuits about "who am I" and "where do I come from", and at the same time has a significant academic impact on the project of exploring the origins of Chinese civilization.
Reader comments
This book is very good! I particularly liked the section on the origins of Chinese civilization, which clearly illustrates the endogeneity of Chinese civilization through archaeological evidence. It gave me a deeper understanding of the development of our Chinese civilization, and I also understood that Chinese civilization was born and raised on our own land. This book also answers my long-standing question about "where do we come from?" I recommend you read it.
