China’s History in Half an Hour: The Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, and Tang

Learn history spanning five thousand years with half-hour comics! The best-selling comic history series, with cumulative sales ranked No. 1! All 500 illustrations redrawn, with an even more substantial helping of knowledge! 45 mind maps lay out the framework of middle-school history! Using nothing but hand-drawn comics and jokes, Chen Lei (pen name: Hunzi Ge) and the Half-Hour Comics team clearly trace the historical arc from the Two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties through the Sui and Tang: The Western Jin had barely been founded before it started playing a game of elimination; every emperor of the Southern and Northern Dynasties was a character; the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty were one big parabola... Peel away history’s tangled surface and leave out the insignificant details. Every page brings a historical joke, with a laugh every three seconds. Open this book and you’ll absorb historical knowledge without even noticing, all while laughing out loud.
