Transmigrating Through History with Cultural Relics

Did you know?

Children in the Qin Dynasty could already recite the multiplication table.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms painting The Night Revels of Han Xizai is actually a “surveillance recording” from a thousand years ago.

Noblewomen in the Ming Dynasty also believed in “cure-all” remedies. Their custom-made gold handbags put modern luxury brands to shame.

From the Xia Dynasty through the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing, our ancestors left us countless precious artifacts. These relics are tangible evidence of China’s vast, millennia-long history. Through them, we can glimpse the history, culture, and customs of different eras, and get an up-close look at the details of everyday life back then.

Following Artifacts Through History spans five thousand years, tracing the evolution of civilization through historical relics. Reading this book will take you on an exploratory journey through the tunnels of time, where you can experience the brilliant origins of Chinese culture and revive the memories of home and country deep within us all.
