Why China (Collected Works of Ge Jianxiong⑧)

Where did China's long history begin? How did Chinese civilization take root and thrive and endure for a long time? How did the Chinese nation thrive and develop into a big family of fifty-six ethnic groups today? Professor Ge Jianxiong's dozens of new works in recent years, with his profound historical accumulation and unique practical insights, tell the origin and development of Chinese civilization from the oracle bones and bronzes that carry the dawn of civilization, to the Yellow River and Yangtze River that gave birth to countless splendid cultures, to the canals and Silk Road that influenced regional and world exchanges. This is not only a review of history, but also an in-depth discussion of cultural self-confidence, guiding us to rethink the foundation and future of Chinese culture in the complex and ever-changing present.
