The Origins of Huaxia

The evolution of Chinese civilization was no abrupt succession of eras, but an unbroken relay, with each generation pushing the next forward. From Yuanmou Man's first spark, through the agricultural settlements of the Neolithic Age, painted pottery and jade cong, to ancient capital cities and ritual codes, and finally the founding of the Xia Dynasty, this is an epic relay through the history of Huaxia civilization! Every nameless person who passed on the flame, whether hunter, potter, farmer, or shaman, deserves to be remembered and celebrated. For what they passed on was not merely fire, but civilization itself. When Qi proclaimed, "All under Heaven belongs to the family," the spark that had burned for a million years became the dawn of a dynasty, shining over the Nine Provinces.

With "fire" as its thread and "the relay" as its framework, this novel recounts the magnificent journey of the ancestors of Huaxia, from the first sparks to the rise of dynasties. It is the light that brightened the long night of prehistory!
