Quick Access to Chinese History (Chinese Edition)

Absorbing countless brooks and streams, surging through rapids and reefs, this great river gave birth to China, one of the most splendid civilizations in the world. However, the very profoundness and length of this history poses difficulties for readers to explore its myths and treasures. Thus, a book that provides quick access to Chinese history would be a most handy tool for readers. Our book is such a tool, presenting the major points of Chinese history along a complete timeline, with comparisons between the concurrent histories of China and the rest of the world. Covering a time span from 1,700,000 years ago up to AD 1911, the book includes influential historical events and figures in Chinese history, arranged in chronological order with pictures, illustrations and charts.
