This is the beginning of the "Chinese History from Scratch" series, which focuses on the history of the pre-Qin era and shows how Chinese civilization originated and was shaped. Due to the lack of written records, people know very little about pre-Qin history, especially the history before Xia. This time, through the textual research of a large number of documents and the study of archaeological data, the author used one wonderful story after another to restore the appearance of the land of China more than 5,000 years ago, telling the thousands of years of history from the mythical battle between Huangdi and Chiyou to the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the rise of the Shang Dynasty, and then to the establishment and collapse of the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system. In the book, we can see the Yellow Emperor who carried the political ideals of future generations, the dark version of the abdication of Yao and Shun, the magnificent Xia Palace City and Xia civilization, the Yin Ruins and the Shang Dynasty that shocked the world, and how the Zhou Dynasty was established by the small and broad-minded Zhou people, and how all the hundreds of vassal states in the Zhou Dynasty fell into the hands of Qin. Start reading from scratch, explore where China comes from, and understand the original appearance of China.
