"Five thousand years" has long been engraved in the genes of every Chinese, and archeology allows us to see another China that is similar but different from the China recorded in ancient books and documents. It may be difficult to say which of the two is more "real", but what is certain is that the Chinese civilization landscape we can see, thanks to the help of archeology, has become particularly wonderful and magnificent. Archaeological discoveries in the 20th century have greatly enriched our understanding of Chinese history and changed the world's basic view of Chinese civilization. The book selects ten representative archaeological sites from the major archaeological discoveries in China - the ancient city of Liangzhu in the Neolithic Age, the Erlitou ruins that can be called the earliest "China", the Yin Ruins in Anyang in the late Shang Dynasty, Sanxingdui in Guanghan that clears the fog of ancient Shu, Xiaohe Cemetery that witnesses the exchanges between Chinese and Western civilizations, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, the Tomb of Haihun Hou in the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Nanhai No. 1 Shipwreck in the Song Dynasty, and the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, respectively. Ten archaeologists responsible for front-line exploration-Liu Bin, Xu Hong, Tang Jigen, Gao Dalun, Idilis Abduresuler, Duan Qingbo, Yang Jun, Liu Rui, Cui Yong, and Fan Jinshi-unveil the veil of archaeological exploration for the public from the perspective of those who have experienced it, leading readers to the site of five thousand years of Chinese civilization, telling the excavation experience, cutting-edge progress and the stories behind civilization of China's ten major archaeological discoveries. Each scene is like a "time capsule", showing the social life and cultural features of China at various stages, providing historical information independent of documents, and giving us another perspective on observing Chinese civilization. The book is richly illustrated and text-based. It combines the location diagrams, plan sections and unearthed important cultural relics in the archaeological report as much as possible to restore the original situation of the site for readers. It also provides background knowledge, discovery process, extended reading, museum exhibits and other information. It transforms the professional archaeological reports and academic research into knowledge readings for ordinary readers, which can be read by readers who are interested in history and archeology, as well as those who intend to visit the site museum.
