"A Panoramic Account of Historical Details from the Dawn of Chinese Civilization

全景讲述华夏文明起源时期的历史细节

What was the mysterious connection between the Shang tribe and the mystical bird?

What cultural inheritance does Tang of Shang's preservation of the Xia altars reflect?

What illustrious achievements did Fu Hao, the armored warrior queen, accomplish?

What role did the diviners play in the Shang Dynasty?

The dazzling Chinese civilization originated in the prehistoric and Xia eras, took shape during the Zhou and Qin periods, and the 600-year span of the Shang Dynasty served as a critical bridge-connecting the past to the future and laying the foundation for early Chinese culture.

The creators of the brilliant Shang culture included legendary rulers like Shang Jia Wei, Tang of Shang, Tai Jia, Pan Geng, and Wu Ding; illustrious nobles and ministers such as Yi Yin, Fu Hao, Wang Cheng, and Marquis You Xi; as well as obscure diviners like Bin and Que, and even commoners and slaves who left traces in history-all ""brought to life"" through cold, dark oracle bones and tortoise shells.

Based on archaeological evidence, this book integrates research from history, archaeology, philology, and paleography to explore over six centuries of history from the late Xia to the fall of Shang. It addresses key questions about the era, vividly reconstructing historical figures and events, and revitalizing the story of the Shang Dynasty.
