What is “China” on a spiritual level?
This book takes China’s eight major geographical and cultural regions as its framework, creating a collection of “geographical epics” spanning three thousand years.
The book has nine volumes, each focusing on a landmark geographical unit. Nine pivotal historical stories in each volume trace the changes of civilization from the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties through the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing.
The work adheres to the principles of “grounded geography, accurate major events, realistic details, and vivid characters,” blending literary invention with rigorous historical research.
